walking fern

Walking fern

Walking fern may refer to two species of fern in the genus Asplenium which are occasionally placed in a separate genus Camptosorus.

Both have evergreen, undivided, slightly leathery leaves which are triangular and taper to a thin point. On the bottom of the leaves, sori, or spore-bearing structures, cluster along the veins. These hardy plants can be found in shady spots of limestone ledges and limy forest places. ▪ Asplenium rhizophyllum, native to North America ▪ Asplenium ruprechtii, native to East Asia It may also refer to: ▪ Adiantum caudatum, a species of maidenhair fern...
