Drynaria aglaomorpha

GBIF treats this name as a synonym of Drynaria splendens (Aglaomorpha splendens), a large basket-forming fern of Philippine and Sulawesi forest. Grow it as a warm, humid, bright-shade epiphyte with a coarse open root zone; confidence is low because little is published on its wild habitat.

Where it grows wild

Wild records come from Philippine forest between about 600 and 1800 m. Like other Aglaomorpha-type Drynaria it is presumed to grow on trunks, branches and mossy rocks, collecting litter in its broad frond bases.

Recorded at 600–1825 m, median 760 m: lower montane rather than lowland forest.
