GENUS INDEX
GENUS CODE: ASPLE GENUS SCIENTIFIC:Asplenium GENUS AUTHORITY: L. GENUS COMMON: Spleenwort GENUS SUMMARY:Asplenium is a large, nearly cosmopolitan genus of more than 720 species, with centers of diversity in the Appalachians, Central America mountains, Andes, and Himalayas. GENUS IDENTIFICATION: Identification notes: Several of the more frequently encountered sterile hybrids are included in the key and treated fully below. Others may be recognized by intermediate morphology and usual co-occurrence with both parents. GENUS REFERENCES: Wagner, Moran, & Werth in FNA (1993b); Lin & Viane in FoC (2013)=FoC; Moran (1982); Taylor, Mohlenbrock, & Burton (1976)=Z; Murakami et al.

FAMILY INDEX
FAMILY CODE: ASPLEN FAMILY SCIENTIFIC:Aspleniaceae FAMILY AUTHORITY: Frank 1877 FAMILY COMMON: Spleenwort Family FAMILY SUMMARY: A family of a 2 genera and more than 720 species, of nearly cosmopolitan distribution. Murakami et al. (1999) conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Aspleniaceae, which confirmed that Camptosorus should be included in Asplenium, but suggested that Phyllitis is better separated from Asplenium. A later and more comprehensive study shows Phyllitis and Camptosorus to be deeply embedded in Asplenium (Schneider et al. 2004a), a conclusion followed here.
