Bolbitis beddomei

An Indian Bolbitis with no georeferenced wild records, named after Beddome, who documented the ferns of the southern Indian hills. Grow it as a shaded, wet-rock stream fern of humid monsoon forest. The measured climate comes from a central-India placeholder point and should not be used as a guide.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data was available. Indian Bolbitis grow mostly in evergreen forest of the Western Ghats and northeast India, on rocks and banks of shaded streams, so that is assumed here.

Unknown; the only climate point is the geographic centre of India at about 215 m, not a collection site.
