A single black spleenwort growing from the wall of a sea cave. Clinging on despite permanent shade, salt spray and winter storms. I expect you know the feeling.

@stewchat.bsky.social points out that it is in fact likely to be sea spleenwort. I have to confess that I didn't know that species existed. 😳

Asplenium trichomanes subsp. pachyrachis is the rarest subspecies of maidenhair spleenwort found growing out of damp limestone with high humidity levels. Identified by its lobed leaves from which it gets its English name, lobed maidenhair spleenwort. This one was tucked away in the Wye Valley.

A very large and leggy Black Spleenwort Asplenium adiantum-nigrum at Dorothea Quarry, Caernorfonshire today. I tried to turn it into Irish Spleenwort Asplenium onopteris but that is a silly thing to do. @bsbibotany.bsky.social
