Asplenium bangii

An Andean spleenwort described by Hieronymus in 1918, known from the humid montane forests of Bolivia and Peru. Little has been published beyond the original description, so this profile rests mainly on 211 wild records and the climate measured at them: mild, humid and evergreen, with a drier winter from May to October.

Where it grows wild

Records come from the Yungas and Tucumano-Boliviano montane forests on the eastern Andean slopes. No habitat notes for this species were reachable; like most Andean spleenworts it probably grows in shaded forest on mossy banks, rocks or lower trunks.

Recorded from 457 to 2800 m, median 1450 m (181 records with an elevation).
