Asplenium bifrons | |
Asplenium bifrons is a species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. It is known only from one population in Pichincha Province. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss for hydroelectric power.
Asplenium is a genus of about 700 species of ferns, often treated as the only genus in the family Aspleniaceae, though other authors consider Hymenasplenium separate, based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences, a different chromosome count, and structural differences in the rhizomes. The type species for the genus is Asplenium marinum.
Asplenium scolopendrium, commonly known as the hart's-tongue fern, is an evergreen fern in the genus Asplenium native to the Northern Hemisphere.
