Drynaria latipinna

An oak-leaf (basket) fern endemic to Sulawesi, known from very few records. Like other Drynaria it grows on trees and rocks, with stiff, humus-collecting nest fronds and separate green, fertile fronds. Grow it warm, humid and bright on a mount or in a basket; information on this species is thin, so the conditions come from the measured sites and the genus.
