Asplenium dielfalcatum
Asplenium dielfalcatum is a rare species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae, endemic to the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii. It typically grows at elevations ranging from 400 to 1,000 m (1,300 to 3,300 ft) in moist montane forests. The species is listed as Critically Endangered due to habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change.
This fern is endemic to the island of Oʻahu and has an extremely limited distribution. It is found in wet montane forest ecosystems with consistent cloud cover and high moisture levels. These habitats are increasingly fragmented and degraded due to land development, invasive plants such as strawberry guava, and the rooting behavior of feral pigs.
