Asplenium atuntzeense

A rarely recorded spleenwort from the Himalaya and the Hengduan mountains, named after Atuntze (now Deqin) in north-west Yunnan. GBIF has no usable wild records, and the climate below comes from two stand-in sites that are almost certainly lower and warmer than its real habitat. Treat it as a cool-growing mountain rock fern with a cold, dry winter, and read every figure as an estimate.

Where it grows wild

Probably grows in rock crevices and on shaded cliffs and banks in montane forest and scrub, as related small Sino-Himalayan spleenworts do. No field account was available.

Probably montane to subalpine. The Deqin type area lies at roughly 3000–3500 m, far above the 1010 m and 2287 m stand-in climate sites.
