About

Asplenium × herb-wagneri, commonly known as Wagner's spleenwort, is a rare, sterile, hybrid fern. It is formed by the crossing of lobed spleenwort (A. pinnatifidum) with maidenhair spleenwort (A. trichomanes) and is intermediate in form between the two parents. Found in Illinois and Indiana in 1967 and 1970, respectively, it was identified but not given a scientific name until 1977. It grows on acidic rocks.

Where it grows

Asplenium × herb-wagneri has been found in only two locations. The type locality is in the Pine Hills of Union County, Illinois. Another was found in Martin County, Indiana in 1970.
