Asplenium insiticum

A little-known spleenwort described by Brackenridge from the United States Exploring Expedition. The few GBIF records are from the United States (most likely Hawaii) and Samoa. Nothing reliable was found on its habitat, so these conditions are based on the measured sites and Pacific island wet forest.

Where it grows wild

Its habitat is not documented in any source that could be reached. It is assumed to grow in wet island forest, like most Pacific spleenworts.

Few records carry an elevation. The measured sites lie at 0–1510 m.
