Asplenium discrepans

A spleenwort of Bolivia and southern Peru, well collected (over 100 wild records) in the Andean foothills from 190 to 2500 m. Its climate is warm with a clear dry winter, so it suits growers who can give a cooler, drier rest from May to October.

Where it grows wild

The records follow the eastern Andean foothills and the Tucumano-Boliviano and Yungas forests, which are seasonally dry at lower elevations. Specific habit is not documented in reachable sources; it is treated as a shaded forest-floor or bank fern.

Recorded at 190–2500 m, median 850 m (99 records).
