Davallia kansuense

A rarely recorded Davallia named for Gansu (Kansu) in north-western China, near the cold northern limit of the genus. Treat it like the hardy rabbit's-foot ferns of temperate East Asia: a creeping-rhizome fern on shaded rocks that needs a cool, drier winter rest.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data is available for this name. Temperate East Asian Davallia grow with their furry rhizomes creeping over mossy rocks, cliffs and tree bases in moist, shaded valleys.

Unknown; mountain valleys in southern Gansu lie roughly 1,000-2,500 m.
