Bolbitis interlineata

A rarely recorded Bornean Bolbitis known from only a few collections in Sarawak. It comes from an everwet rainforest climate with no dry season, so treat it as a warm, shade-loving stream fern that must stay wet and humid all year.

Where it grows wild

Recorded in lowland to hill rainforest in Sarawak. No species-specific notes were found; like most Bolbitis it is assumed to grow on wet rocks and banks along shaded streams.

The three sites lie at roughly 300–700 m, hill forest rather than coastal lowland.
