Pyrrosia beddomei

An Indian felt fern named after Richard Beddome, who worked on the ferns of southern India. Like other Pyrrosia it has thick, scaly fronds that let it ride out dry spells on tree bark or rock; give it bright light, an airy mount and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Nothing species-specific is available; Pyrrosia grow as creeping epiphytes or lithophytes on trunks, branches and rocks in forest and wooded country, often in fairly exposed spots.

No wild records carry an elevation; the measured point (about 215 m in central India) is a placeholder. Species named by or for Beddome are often from the hills of the Western Ghats, which are cooler and wetter.
