Asplenium anguineum

A spleenwort described by Christ in 1908 and widespread from Assam and southern China through Indochina and Malesia to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It is recorded at 180–1550 m in humid forest. Ecology beyond that was not available to us, so this profile uses the measured climate and the genus.
