Bolbitis rawsonii

An accepted but almost unknown name, first described by Baker as Acrostichum rawsonii and moved to Bolbitis by Ching. GBIF has no wild records for it, so where it grows is unknown; the advice here is generic for tropical stream-bank Bolbitis.

Where it grows wild

No habitat information is available. Most Bolbitis grow on shaded, wet rocks and banks along forest streams, and that is assumed here.

Unknown; most Bolbitis are lowland to lower montane, below about 1,500 m.
