Asplenium goetzii

Hieronymus described this spleenwort from Tanzania in 1900. Its only wild record is at about 2400 m in the Uluguru Mountains, among the Eastern Arc cloud forests. Recent work treats the name as doubtful. If you have a plant under this name, grow it as a cool, constantly humid montane cloud-forest fern.
