GENUS INDEX
GENUS CODE: ASPLEGENUS 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.

FAMILY INDEX
FAMILY CODE: ASPLENFAMILY 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.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Asplenium heteroresiliensCOMMON NAME: Marl Spleenwort, Carolina Spleenwort, Wagner's Spleenwort, Morzenti's Spleenwort
SYNONYMY: [= RAB; = A. ×heteroresiliens - FNA, K, WH3; < A. heterochroum Kunze - S]
PHENOLOGY: Apr-Oct.
HABITAT: Fairly moist outcrops of calcareous sedimentary rocks, such as coquina limestone (marl), along small blackwater streams or larger rivers, at low elevations, and rarely also on old ruins made of tabby (a cement made from lime, sand, and oyster shells).
COMMENTS: Rare and scattered from se. NC to se. GA, sw. GA, and n. FL, on the Coastal Plain. This species is an apogamous (producing viable spores asexually) allopentaploid derived from hybridization of the sexual tetraploid H. heterochroum Kunze and the apogamous triploid A. resiliens. Its chromosome complement can be symbolized EEEHH.
