Where it grows wild

Records come from the humid forests of the Andohahela–Anosy mountains in south-east Madagascar. No habitat notes were reachable; conditions here are generalised from montane Malagasy Asplenium, which grow on shaded forest floor, rocks and tree bases.

Recorded at 800–2100 m, median 1190 m (3 records).
