Margao, Goa, India

Answer

There are some ferns that withstand coastal conditions. Polystichum munitum (Western sword fern), Crytomium falcatum (Holly fern), Asparagus sprengerii (not a true fern), Dryopteris felix-mas (Male fern), Adiantum hispidulum (Rosy Maidenhair), and the Australian Tree fern will tolerate salt wind. As for the Dendrobium, I am not certain if species other than Dendrobium nobile will tolerate salt breeze.
