Asplenium hapalophyllum

Asplenium hapalophyllum is a high-mountain spleenwort of New Guinea, described by Rosenstock in 1913 and recorded at about 2840–3680 m. It lives in a cold, constantly wet, cloudy climate with frequent near-freezing nights. It needs cool conditions year round; warm rooms will not suit it.
