Bolbitis lancea

A poorly known Bolbitis that the fern checklist treats as a hybrid (Bolbitis × lancea) and Kew lists for India. There are no wild records to locate it, so the care below follows typical Bolbitis: a shade fern of wet, rocky stream banks that needs constant moisture and humid air.

No recorded elevations.
