Asplenium isabelense

A spleenwort known only from Bioko (Fernando Po) in the Gulf of Guinea, described by Brause in 1915. Its name probably refers to Santa Isabel, the old name of Malabo and of the island's highest peak. There are no GBIF records, so these conditions are an estimate based on Bioko's wet forest.

Where it grows wild

No habitat text was reachable. It is assumed to grow in wet forest on Bioko, which has lowland and montane cloud forest.

No elevations are recorded. If the name refers to Pico Basilé (formerly Pico de Santa Isabel), it may be a montane plant.
