Nephrolepis pseudolauterbachii

A little-documented sword fern from Fiji and Samoa, known from only a handful of herbarium records. Grow it like other Pacific island Nephrolepis: constantly warm, humid, and in shade to dappled light.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes are available for this species; the few records come from low to mid-elevation wet island forest, where Nephrolepis grow on the forest floor, on banks, or low on trunks.

The two measured sites sit at about 275 m on Viti Levu and 660 m on Upolu; the grid cells are much lower, so true conditions may be slightly cooler than the coastal climate.
