Description
A description of Asplenium platyneuron is provided in The Flora of North America.
It can be easily confused with Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), however, the stem of Christmas fern is green and scaly and the spores cover a back of a leaflet[1].
Distribution
It is one of the most common and widespread of the eastern North American spleenwort[2]. Listed as critically imperiled in Arizona and Colorado[3].
Ecology
Habitat
Habitats include rocks, rotting logs, swamps, marshes, crotches of hardwood trees, and savannas[4][5]. It also grwos in disturbed areas such as fallow fields and near field edges. It does well in moist, loamy sand in fully shaded environments to areas with full sun[5].
Associated species include cypress, moss, magnolia, oak, and beech[5].
Fire ecology
It does well in fire dependent environments (FSU Herbarium)
