Asplenium bradei

A little-known spleenwort described by Rosenstock in 1955 from southern and southeastern Brazil, with only 32 wild GBIF records, mostly in lowland Rio Grande do Sul and Espírito Santo. Nothing on its ecology is published beyond herbarium labels, so this profile builds on the measured climate and on how Atlantic Forest Asplenium grow: shaded, humid forest with a mild, cooler winter.

Recorded from sea level to about 275 m, median 150 m (10 records).
