Phlebodium aureum
Phlebodium aureum (L.) J. Smith, a commonly cultivated New World escapee, is now recorded from all the high islands except Moloka'i. It may well also be established on that island but I have seen no collections of it. It was first collected in 1910 on Kaua'i (Forbes 308, BISH), and in 1950 Wagner reported it to be growing frequently in the wild on O'ahu and Kaua'i. Phlebodium aureum is an epiphyte in forests and near habitations; a particularly large population is found in the trees and on some of the buildings along Banyan Drive, Hilo, Hawai'i.
