A little-known Blechnum of the Guayana Highlands of southern Venezuela and Roraima, Brazil, with almost no published growing detail. Treat it as a tropical highland fern: steadily moist, humid air, bright but not direct light and nights that never get cold.

Where it grows wild

No species-specific habitat notes were found. Blechnum species of the Guayana Highlands usually grow terrestrially in wet shrubland, forest edges and along streams on acidic sandstone soils, and this profile assumes the same.

No wild records carry an elevation; the only climate site is a lowland grid cell at about 32 m, which is probably far below where the plant grows.
