Asplenium unilaterale SN17420 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (1) – 4 mb.
Asplenium unilaterale Lam. Wild Terrestrial fern from Western Ghats Tamilnadu. 


A. unilaterale is confined to Africa. This is probably A. (sect. Hymenasplenium) obscurum – though I cannot see if the rhizome is creeping or not (just out of the picture) and if the stipe and rachis are jet-black as in A. excisum, or a bit grey-black as in A. obscurum.
