Asplenium trichomanes (Aspleniaceae) |
 |
| Asplenium
trichomanes (maidenhair spleenwort) is an uncommon, but
widespread native fern. It is a small fern that grows on rock, or in
thin soil in rocky places. It has leaves divided pinnately into
wedge-shaped leaflets. The sori are
elongated, placed on the underside of the lamina and are protected
by a flap of the lamina (an indusium). It can easily be
distinguished from A.
flabellifolum by having brittle leaf rachises, instead of
the slender flexible stems. |
