Adiantum wattii

Adiantum wattii is a Himalayan and Chinese mountain maidenhair, recorded from Pakistan and Nepal through Tibet and Myanmar to south-central and southeastern China at about 1300–3200 m. Its sites have cold, dry winters with nights near freezing and warm, wet monsoon summers. It needs to be grown as a temperate, winter-dormant fern, not a tropical one.
