Blechnum tovii

An obscure Blechnum with a single record on Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas. Marquesan ferns of this kind grow in wet upland forest, so treat it as a warm, humid, shade-loving terrestrial fern rather than following the dry coastal climate grid.

Where it grows wild

Little is published. By analogy with other Marquesan Blechnum, it probably grows in moist montane forest and on ridges well above the dry coast.

No elevation recorded; probably upland forest, above the coastal grid cell.
