Asplenium trichomanoides

Asplenium trichomanoides Lour. is an obscure 1793 name from Loureiro's Flora Cochinchinensis, based on a fern from what is now Vietnam or southern China, and its identity is unclear. The same spelling was also used by other authors for maidenhair spleenwort (A. trichomanes) and ebony spleenwort (A. platyneuron), so a plant sold under this name is most likely one of those. The advice below assumes a small spleenwort of shaded rocks and banks in a warm subtropical climate.
