Asplenium adiantum-nigrum (Asplenium andrewsii ; Ariz., Colo., Utah; Eurasia; Africa. Temperate Zones including being widely distributed in Britain. It may be found decorating, often abundantly, the lichen-covered walls of an old church or ruin, or hanging down its graceful sprays over rocks, or on the hedge-bank of a dry but shady lane. Asplenium adiantum-nigrum is principally a Eurasian species and occurs extremely rarely in North America. |
It is among the last of our British ferns to unfold its new fronds, which are often not fully open until the middle of June. They are at first quite erect, forming little tufts, but they gradually lengthen and curve gracefully downwards, retaining their elegance of shape and even their green colour and fructification throughout the winter. Roots not proliferous. Stems ascending or short-creeping, infrequently branched; scales dark brown to blackish throughout, narrowly deltate, 2--4(--5) × 0.2--0.5 mm, margins entire or shallowly denticulate to serrulate. Leaves monomorphic. |

Propagation: For those without propagation by spores instructions; the following is suitable: "Keep a close eye upon the fronds, and when the spore cases begin to turn brown remove a frond or portions of it, and wrap them up in white paper, putting them in a closed box for a few days, when an abundance of spores for sowing will be available. Fill some pots with good loam, to within an inch (2.5 cms) of the top, using to drainage, and surface this with some finely broken and dusty crocks or bricks. Give a thorough watering, and when this has soaked away sow the spores as thinly as possible. Stand each pot in a saucer of water, cover it in a case or under a bell-glass where light is available, but where there is no direct sunshine. When the pots get covered with small green scales (prothallica), transplant some of the small tufts with a pointed peg into other pots filled with compost and surfaced with sandy soil. Saucers of water beneath the pots should be used to supply moisture." from Black's Gardening Dictionary. Edited by E.T. Ellis. Published by A & C. Black Ltd in 1928. |

Asplenium auritum Eared spleenwort Fla.; Mexico; West Indies in the Antilles; Central America; South America. In the flora Asplenium auritum is evidently confined to Florida, where it is rare, occurring primarily on live oaks ( Quercus virginiana Miller). The species is highly variable. Juvenile plants, less than 2 cm, tend to be 2-pinnate. In mature plants all stages between 1-pinnate and 2-pinnate leaves are found, but 1-pinnate are more common. |
Roots proliferous. Stems erect, unbranched; scales brown throughout, broadly linear, 1--2 × 0.7--1.1 mm, margins shallowly and widely dentate. Leaves monomorphic. |

Asplenium ceterach (Ceterach cordatum, Ceterach officinarum, Hemidictyum ceterach) Europe (Britain) - generally distributed in England, but rare in the eastern counties and the midlands. It is most plentiful on the west side of England and Scotland, extending northwards as far as Argyllshire and Perthshire. It occurs in Ireland, thickly clothing the walls and stone dykes, frequently in company with the Wall Rue and Maidenhair Spleenwort. Xinjiang, N Xizang [Afghanistan, N India, Kashmir, Pakistan; N Africa, SW Asia, Europe]. 药蕨 |
Quite apart from the pattern of the frond, the dense coating of chaffy scales on the underside renders the Rusty-back distinct from all other ferns. |
Plants up to 12 cm tall. Rhizome erect, short; scales dark brown in center to pale brown at margin, ovate-triangular, margin sparsely toothed. Fronds caespitose. Asplenium ceterach is widely distributed in S Europe and was often put into the separate genus Ceterach Willdenow (Anleit. Selbststud. Bot. 578. 1804, nom. cons.; 药蕨属 yao jue shu) on the basis of its peculiar pinnatipartite fronds, submarginally anastomosing veins, and the dense, abaxial scale covering. |

Asplenium marinum Europe - the range in the British Isles is as far north as Shetland and extending down the east coast only as far south as Yorkshire. On the west coast it is distributed generally all the way to Land's End and thence along the south coast as far east as Dorset. |
Away from its natural haunts it needs protection, for its fronds are quickly destroyed by frost. Like all the species destined to grow on rocks, it has tough, wiry stems, which penetrate far into the crevices of the rocks and hold the plant so firmly that it is most difficult to remove. Often it will be found growing high up in the roof of some sea-cave, from which the 6 to 18 inch (15-45 cms) long fronds grow in a downward curve. The roots are broken and mostly left behind in the crevice while the rootstock is being removed, so that collected specimens are generally doomed on this account; but in addition, the species does not grow well away from the sea and specimens taken to inland towns seldom live long: please leave it alone! |
