Asplenium franceae

Asplenium franceae is a Madagascan spleenwort described by Viane in 2021 and known from very few collections. Almost nothing is published about its ecology beyond the description, so the conditions here are built from one measured site in Madagascar's humid uplands and the habits of Malagasy forest spleenworts.
