Asplenium brissaginense

A rare natural hybrid spleenwort, Asplenium ×brissaginense, described by D. E. Meyer in 1961 and named after Brissago in Ticino. The few wild records come from rocky, low hills in south-central France. Like most rock spleenworts it needs a cold winter and a bright, well-drained crevice.

Where it grows wild

Probably grows in crevices of rock outcrops and old walls, like its spleenwort relatives. This is inferred from the genus; no habitat text for the hybrid was reachable.

Recorded from 336 to 620 m, with a median of 450 m (4 records).
