Microsorum whiteheadii

A little-known Microsorum fern recorded only from Sumatra, with no wild occurrence records to pin down its habitat. Treat it like other Malesian Microsorum: warm, humid, shaded conditions and an airy epiphytic or rocky substrate.

Where it grows wild

No locality data is available; most Sumatran Microsorum grow as epiphytes or on mossy rocks in humid evergreen forest. The conditions here are generalised from the genus.

Not recorded. The climate below uses a lowland centroid point for Sumatra, which may not match where the species actually grows.
