Nephrolepis equilatera

Nephrolepis equilatera is a sword fern described by A. Rojas in 2008 and listed by Kew only for Northeast Brazil. GBIF has no wild records, so the climate shown was taken from a point in the region that lies in hot, dry caatinga, which is almost certainly not where a Nephrolepis grows. Treat it as a warm, humid forest fern of the Atlantic forest or humid uplands of the Northeast.

Where it grows wild

Unknown in detail. Nephrolepis in Northeast Brazil grow in Atlantic coastal forest and in humid upland forest islands (brejos) within the dry interior, on banks, trunks and rocks.

No elevation is recorded; the climate site at 436 m is a regional placeholder, not a collection site.
