Asplenium flaccidum |
Asplenium flaccidum is a species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae. The plant common name is Drooping Spleenwort or Weeping Spleenwort, and the species name flaccidum derives from the Latin root meaning drooping.[1] An example occurrence of A. flaccidum is within a Nothofagus-Podocarp forest at Hamilton Ecological District on New Zealand's North Island in association with other fern species understory plants, Crown Fern, Blechnum discolor being an example.[2]
