Blechnum polinesicum
A little-documented Blechnum known here only from a handful of records in the montane forests of south-eastern Papua New Guinea at roughly 1,900–2,300 m. Treat it as a cool, constantly moist highland fern: mild days, cool nights and very humid air all year.
Where it grows wild
Records come from the Owen Stanley Range highlands, where Blechnum species typically grow as terrestrial ferns on moist, mossy forest floors, banks and clearings in montane rain forest. No habitat notes specific to this species were available.
Recorded sites lie at about 1,870–2,300 m; the climate figures were corrected to that altitude.
