Walking fern

Index of plants with the same common name

Walking fern may refer to two species of fern in the genus Asplenium, which are occasionally placed in a separate genus Camptosorus. The name "walking fern" derives from the fact that new plantlets grow wherever the arching leaves of the parent touch the ground, creating a walking effect. Both have evergreen, undivided, slightly leathery leaves that are triangular and taper to a thin point. On the bottom of the leaves, sori, or spore-bearing structures, cluster along the veins. These hardy plants can be found in shady spots of limestone ledges and limy forest places.Asplenium rhizophyllum, native to North America Asplenium ruprechtii, native to East Asia
