Asplenium concolor

A spleenwort described by Hooker in 1860. Kew lists it for Sulawesi, but GBIF specimens come from Mount Kinabalu in Sabah and from Bengkulu in Sumatra. Labels describe it on rocks, trees, stumps and damp banks in wet forest, so grow it warm, shaded and humid.

Where it grows wild

Specimens record it on rocks, trees and stumps, at the base of trunks, on a small bank in 'dewy damp jungle', and in the Minitidok Gorge on Kinabalu. It grows low down in wet forest, on the ground or climbing onto trunks.

No altitudes on the records. The Kiau–Lobang trail on Kinabalu runs at roughly 900–1,500 m, and Lebong Tandai in Sumatra is in the Barisan foothills.
