Asplenium chingii

Asplenium ×chingii is a hybrid spleenwort named by Fraser-Jenkins in 2008 from Pakistan and the Western Himalaya. There are no georeferenced records, so these conditions come from representative mountain climates in that region. Grow it as a hardy alpine rock fern with a cold, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes exist. Himalayan hybrid spleenworts usually grow in rock crevices and walls, where their parents meet; this is assumed here.

There are no records. The climate points were placed at about 1960 m and 3930 m.
