Adiantum subvolubile

A poorly known maidenhair fern of Peru and Ecuador. Its name suggests somewhat twining fronds. The measured sites are warm lowland areas with very little rain, which is unusual for a fern, so the plant probably depends on moist, shaded microhabitats.

Where it grows wild

Recorded at 265–360 m, median 320 m (3 records with elevation).
