Asplenium fabianum

A spleenwort named by Decaisne from the French Astrolabe and Zélée voyage (published 1853), which collected in the Pacific. The only GBIF records are from Germany, almost certainly cultivated or herbarium material, so nothing here is measured from its wild home. Treat this profile as a low-confidence starting point for a tropical Pacific forest fern.

Where it grows wild

Its type came from the Dumont d'Urville expedition to Oceania; the wild habitat is not documented in sources we could reach. Pacific Asplenium mostly grow in humid island forest on the ground, rocks or trunks.

Unknown; no wild records carry an elevation.
