Asplenium delavayi

A spleenwort of southwest China and the Himalaya, first described by Franchet as a Scolopendrium: a small fern with undivided fronds that grows on shaded rocks. The measured sites in Yunnan and Sichuan at 900–2000 m have a monsoon climate with a warm wet summer and a cool, dry, sunny winter.
