Asplenium alleniae

A Bornean spleenwort described by Parris and Perrie in 2021, known from two records on the Mount Kinabalu massif in Sabah. Nothing else on its ecology was reachable, so treat this as a cold, cloud-forest fern.

Where it grows wild

Upper slopes of the Kinabalu massif, where mossy upper montane forest gives way to stunted subalpine scrub in near-permanent cloud. Its growth form is not documented here; mossy trunks and rocks are the likely substrates.

Records carry no elevation. The measured temperatures correspond to roughly 3000 m or more on Kinabalu.
