Asplenium diplotion

A spleenwort described by Baker in 1874 and known only from Vanuatu, with a single wild GBIF record near sea level. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so this profile is built from the measured lowland climate and how Pacific island Asplenium grow: constantly warm, humid, shaded rainforest.

Where it grows wild

Habit is not documented in anything reachable; Vanuatu spleenworts grow as epiphytes on trunks or on shaded rocks and banks in lowland rainforest, and this one is treated as a shade plant of that forest.

The one georeferenced record sits at about 140 m; the true elevation range is unknown.
