Asplenium trichomanes (Common Spleenwort)
The status of this widespread cosmopolitan fern in the ACT region is uncertain. There are only few recent records, mainly from limestone area such as London Bridge and the Cotter Caves. It is also known from areas in Namadgi and is probably more widespread than current records indicate.
It is recognised by the stiff and erect, simply pinnate fronds which are <30mm wide and 5-20cm long with terminal segment or pinna. Stipe and rachis is dark red-brown and without scales, old base persisting on rhizome.
