Asplenium blotiae

A spleenwort described by Viane in 2021 in the Aspleniaceae account for Madagascar. Kew lists it for Réunion and the Amsterdam and Saint-Paul islands. The measured Réunion site is at almost 2000 m and is cool all year, so it needs cool, humid conditions and no heat.

Where it grows wild

The Réunion records come from high-elevation montane vegetation. The Amsterdam and Saint-Paul islands have a cool oceanic climate. The microhabitat is not documented, so a sheltered, shaded position is assumed.

The reference site on Réunion is at about 1960 m.
