Asplenium brausei

A rarely collected spleenwort of the rainforests of southern Cameroon and Gabon, described by Hieronymus in 1911 and known from about 20 wild records. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so this profile uses the measured climate of submontane Central African rainforest: warm, very humid and evenly moist, with a short drier spell in December–February.
