Adiantum rufopunctatum

A maidenhair fern from the Andean foothills of Bolivia and Peru, mostly recorded at 900–1760 m. Nothing about its habitat has been published beyond its locality records, so this profile uses the measured climate and the typical understory habits of Andean foothill Adiantum.

Where it grows wild

Probably a terrestrial fern of the forest floor and shaded banks in the humid Yungas and foothill forest, where most Andean Adiantum grow. This is inferred from the genus.

Recorded elevations are 900–1758 m (median 1100 m, 23 records). Two measured sites are lowland points at about 200 m.
