Asplenium (Aspleniaceae)


Tasmania has seven native species of Asplenium (spleenworts). These are mostly epiphytic or grow on rocks. They have pinnate leaves, with the pinnae either toothed or deeply lobed. The sporangia are in elongated sori that are placed on the underside of the lamina (though in some species they can appear to be at the margins). The sori are covered by indusia, which take the form of an elongated flap.
