(4) Maidenhair Spleenwort. Asplenium Trichómanes
Stipes densely tufted, purple-brown, shining. Fronds three to eight inches long, linear, dark green, rather rigid. Pinnæ roundish-oblong or oval, entire or finely crenate, attached at the base by a narrow point. Midveins forking and evanescent.
Not very common, but distributed almost throughout North America. May be looked for wherever there are ledges, as it does not require limestone. July.
