Asplenium athyrioides
A spleenwort of Mexico and Central America, recorded mostly between about 800 and 2000 m on the Pacific and Gulf slopes, with outliers in Peru. Little is published beyond the original description, so this profile is built from measured site climate and what is typical of terrestrial Asplenium in seasonal montane forest. Expect a humid-summer, drier-winter fern that wants shade, even moisture while growing and mild nights.
Where it grows wild
Grows in moist montane and pine-oak forest, most likely on shaded soil banks, ravines and mossy rocks in the understory, as related terrestrial spleenworts of the region do. The habitat detail is inferred from the genus and the record spread, not from a species account.
Records span 82–4500 m with a median of 1370 m; the extremes are probably georeferencing errors, and most plants sit in the 800–2000 m submontane to montane belt.
