Asplenium harpeodes

Asplenium harpeodes is a widespread Neotropical spleenwort, from Mexico and the Caribbean through Central America and the Andes to southeastern Brazil, recorded mainly in montane forest (median about 1800 m). With nearly 900 records the climate picture is solid: cool, humid and wet year round. It is a good candidate for a cool-intermediate humid cabinet.
