The Adenophorus genus is endemic to Hawaiian Islands and this species is one of the most common of the genus. Epiphytic and often grows on Ohia trees (Metrosideros polymorpha). Rhizomes are 'short-creeping' and thus the fronds are usually clustered. 2-pinnate blades; acroscopic basal pinnule often slightly pinnatifid.

One characteristic of A. tamariscinus is the short-creeping rhizome which creates a cluster of fronds as in this photo. Elevation around 3300ft/1006m. This forest along the Stainback highway is lush and receives around 250 inches of rain per year.

High rainfall area, perhaps 200 inches annually. Ohia trees (Metrosideros polymorpha) and tree fern (Cibotium glaucum & menziesii) rain forest. Close to active volcano (Puu Oo). Fern genus endemic to Hawaiian Islands.
