Asplenium scolopendropsis is a hemiepiphyte. In this instance, it formed extensive colonies along the exposed roots of a large tree in this peat swamp. On a small tree nearby I observed a mature individual with its roots descending into the soil. Further observations of this species are provided in Sundue & Maraia, 2024.
