Nephrolepis paucifrondosa

Nephrolepis paucifrondosa is an obscure name published by d'Almeida in 1926 in the Journal of the Indian Botanical Society, with no georeferenced wild records. Treat care as for a tropical Indian sword fern: warm, bright filtered light, moist through the monsoon and a little drier in winter.

Where it grows wild

No habitat information was found; d'Almeida worked in western India, so a humid monsoon forest or bank in the Western Ghats region is assumed.

Unknown; no records carry an elevation.
