The Nordic striped fern ( Asplenium septentrionale ), also known as the northern striped fern or better forked striped fern, is a species of the striped fern family (Aspleniaceae).
features
The Nordic striped fern grows to a height of 15 cm. The fronds are long-stalked, glabrous and shiny. They are composed of two to five unequal bifurcations. The individual leaf sections are linear to oblanceolate. Often they have one or two awl to pointy teeth on both sides.
The spores ripen from July to October.
The species chromosome number is 2n = 144.
Distribution and locations
The Nordic striped fern grows on dry, light-exposed rocks and walls. It only occurs on low-lime or lime-free subsoil. In Central Europe it is an Androsacetalia vandellii order character. He climbs to the alpine altitude level , such. B. in the Allgäu Alps in the Vorarlberg part at Bärenkopf on Hornstein up to 1850 m above sea level.
It occurs in Europe, North Africa, Asia (up to the Himalayas and China) and in North America and Mexico. In Germany it is scattered in the south, rare in the center, and in many cases extinct or lost in the north. In Austria it is often dispersed, extinct in Vienna, endangered in the Alpine foothills and in the Pannonian area .
Systematics
The Nordic Spleenwort was in 1753 by Linnaeus in Species Plantarum under the basionym Acrostichum septentrionale first published . The epithet septentrionalis (= north) is explained by its position as the northernmost representative in the tropical-subtropical genus Acrostichum L. Georg Franz Hoffmann placed it in the genus Asplenium in 1796 .
The Nordic striped fern is divided into two subspecies:
- Asplenium septentrionale subsp. caucasicum Fraser-Jenk. & Lovis (Syn. Asplenium caucasicum (Fraser-Jenk. & Lovis) Viane ): The frond sections are only 1.2 mm wide, their midrib is also relatively narrow. The spores have an average length of 34 µm. This subspecies is diploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 72. It is known from Georgia , Northeast Anatolia , Iran and Pakistan .
- Asplenium septentrionale subsp. septentrionale : The frond sections are 1 to 2 mm wide, their midrib is also relatively wide. The spores are 35 to 45 µm in length. This subspecies is autotetraploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 144. It is widespread, its range corresponds to that of the entire species.
There is also a hybrid between the two subspecies, Asplenium septentrionale nothosubsp. rehmanii Fraser-Jenk. (Syn. Asplenium × direi Viane & Reichstein ), the Asplenium septentrionale subsp. Very similar to septentrionale , but with aborted spores.
Common names
In the German-speaking countries, the other common names urine grass ( Salzburg ), stone fern (Salzburg), Steinschlangenzwang and Kleiner Wiederthon ( Silesia ) are or have been for this plant species, sometimes only regionally .
