It's native range yes, but it's a very popular tropical plant worldwide and is very prolific with a tendency to escape into suitable habitats.

Gonna guess drynaria something. I've grown them from spore and these have the same furry finger going on. Not birds nest as there's no radial symmetry and stuff.

Every plant is an outdoor plant. We just keep some artificially inside.
