Microsorum sarawakense

A Malesian Microsorum recorded from lowland to high montane forest, most often around 1,200 m, in peninsular Malaysia and Sabah. Like related species it is presumably an epiphytic or rock-dwelling fern of humid, shaded forest that wants constant moisture and warm-to-intermediate temperatures.
