Asplenium brasiliense

A spleenwort of the Atlantic Forest and the Paraná forests of Misiones and eastern Paraguay, well collected with over 400 wild GBIF records. It grows in humid, shaded submontane forest with warm summers and a cool, still-wet winter, so it suits a shaded, humid spot with a mild winter drop.

Where it grows wild

Shaded, humid Atlantic and Paraná forest, mostly on slopes and in valleys at a few hundred metres. Like most Brazilian Asplenium it grows in humus on the forest floor, on rocks or low on trunks; its exact preference is not documented in what we could reach.

Recorded from sea level to 1000 m, median 454 m (237 records).
