Iejima chasenshida is a fern of the Aspleniaceae
species and an indigenous plant of Ie Island. It is also a variant of
Asplenium oligophlebium Baker (kamigamoshida in Japanese) distributed
over Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Amami-ooshima, Tokunoshima, and the Okinawa
Island. Its rootstalk stands upright and its leafstalks, glossy and brown,
spread out several leaves. The average height is about 10cm, the base
of the leaflet is auricular, and a single spore case is found between
each rachis and leaf. This fern is valued since it only grows on limited
areas. |
