Asplenium fawcettii

A Jamaican spleenwort named by Jenman in 1899. GBIF treats it as a hybrid, Asplenium ×fawcettii. Most records are from the Blue Mountains at about 2100 m, so it wants cool, humid, shaded conditions.

Where it grows wild

Probably grows in montane cloud forest on the ground, on mossy banks or on trunks. This is inferred from the Blue Mountains records and the genus.

Few records carry an elevation. The main site is at about 2100 m in the Blue Mountains; one is at about 490 m.
