From Wikipedia -Asplenium scolopendrium (syn. Phyllitis scolopendrium, Hart's-tongue Fern) is a fern in the genus Asplenium. The plants are unusual in being ferns with simple, undivided fronds. The leaves are 10-60 cm long and 3-6 cm broad, with sori arranged in rows perpendicular to the rachis. The plants grow on neutral and lime-rich substrates, including moist soil and damp crevices in old walls, most commonly in shaded situations but occasionally in full sun; plants in full sun are usually stunted and yellowish in colour, while those in full shade are dark green and luxuriant. The tongue-shaped leaves have given rise to the common name "Hart's tongue fern"; hart is an old word for deer. The sori pattern is reminiscent of a centipede's legs, and scolopendrium is Latin for "centipede".Asplenium scolopendrium is a common species in Europe, but in North America occurs as rare, widely scattered populations that have been given varietal status, A. scolopendrium var. americanum. Morphological differences are minor, but the North American populations are tetraploid, whereas those occurring in Europe are diploid. In the United States, A. scolopendrium var. americanum was declared endangered in 1989. The reason that the European variety is relatively widespread, and the American variety a rarity, has apparently not been established. A third variety occurs in southern Mexico and Hispaniola, A. scolopendrium var. lindenii.A. scolopendrium, with its close relative A. sagittatum, has also been placed in a segregate genus Phyllitis. A. scolopendrium forms hybrids with other Asplenium species, including those species sometimes classified in the separate genus Camptosorus, which is one reason that both Phyllitis and Camptosorus species are now generally included in Asplenium. On the other hand, a recent phylogenetic study of the Aspleniaceae family suggests that A. scolopendrium is only distantly related to other Asplenium species, and that the genus Phyllitis should again be recognized.Cultivation and usesAsplenium scolopendrium is often grown as an ornamental plant, with several cultivars selected with varying frond form, including with frilled frond margins, forked fronds and cristate forms. The American variety is reputed to be difficult to cultivate, and most, if not all, cultivated plants are derived from European forms.This fern was recommended in folk medicine as a spleen tonic and for other uses.

Asplenium ruta-muraria L. ssp. ruta-murariaWall-rue, DE: Gewhnliche Mauerraute, Gewhnlicher Mauer-StreifenfarnSlo.: pozidna rutica Dat.: Oct. 19. 2015Lat.: 46.36006 Long.: 13.69906Code: Bot_920/2015_DSC9447Habitat: dry, stony wall thickly overgrown with mosses; in mixed forest, moderately inclined mountain slope, south aspect; calcareous ground and rocks; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 640 m (2.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil in crevices among rocks of a man-made low wall. Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Trenta and Soa, right bank of river Soa, above abandoned farm house Strgulc, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: Asplenium ruta-muraria is one of the commonest ferns in west Slovenia. One can find it on almost every stony place, particularly on old stony walls. The plant is very variable. I frequently find plants appearing similar to Asplenium ruta-muraria, which first seem to me something special, or something I haven't seen yet. But it always comes out that they are just another unusual form of the common Asplenium ruta-muraria. Look at picture 102 to see how big the differences can be. The picture shows a young plant growing near Bovec on ground in a beech forest. Young sporophytes of this species frequently have unusually large and morphologically untypical leaves almost without sori. The plant is also very widespread. It grows in all European mountains from lowland to alpine elevations and also outside of them, as well as in many regions of whole Eurasia and North America.Ref.:(1) A.

OliiAspleniaceae (Spleenwort family)Subspecies is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (East Maui and Hawaii Island)Photo: Puu Anahulu, Hawaii IslandEtymologyThe generic Latin name aplenum, spleenwort; in ancient Greece the plants were believed to cure spleen diseases. The specific epithet trichomanes is from the Greek trichos, hair, and manes, a kind of cup, possibly alluding to the cuplike cluster of shiny, black stipes, suggesting hair, at the base of the plant.The subspecific Latin epithet densum, thick, crowded, close, probably alluding to the dense clump of old stipes on the rhizome.
