Where it grows wild

It grows in upper montane cloud forest on the eastern Andean slopes of Bolivia. The microhabitat was not documented in any source that was reachable. Many spleenworts in this zone are epiphytes on mossy trunks, and that is assumed here.

Nine records at 2500–2853 m, median 2700 m.
