A hybrid spleenwort described from Costa Rica in 2012 by Rojas and Chaves, named after the Coto Brus area. Almost nothing is published on its ecology; GBIF has one wild record, from about 1500 m. Grow it like a premontane cloud-forest Asplenium: mild, shaded and humid, with a slightly drier spell in early spring.

The one measured site is at about 1525 m.
