Asplenium dagestanicum

A small rock spleenwort described by Christ from Dagestan in the eastern Caucasus. The name is also spelled daghestanicum. It is a limestone crevice fern of dry mountain cliffs; GBIF also has records under this name from Turkey and the Himalaya–Tibet, but those identifications are uncertain. Very little is published, so this profile describes a generic Caucasian cliff spleenwort.
