Pyrrosia christii

A Bornean felt fern recorded across Sabah, Brunei, Sarawak and Kalimantan, mostly in the lowlands but up to about 2,700 m. Like other Pyrrosia it is a tough, thick-fronded epiphyte that wants bright filtered light, warm humid air and a medium that dries between waterings.

Where it grows wild

Pyrrosia grow as epiphytes on trunks and branches, often fairly high in the canopy or on trees in open places, where their thick, hairy fronds handle short dry spells. The species' own habitat is not documented here.

Recorded at about 40–2,700 m, median about 450 m; most records are lowland or hill forest.
