Asplenium Erectum Var. Sphenolobium

Cushion spleenwort, scientifically known as Asplenium erectum var. sphenolobium, is a unique and resilient moss-like plant found in moist, shaded environments. This variety of spleenwort is distinguished by its compact, cushion-like growth form, which helps it retain moisture and withstand harsh conditions. It thrives in rocky crevices and forest floors, often forming dense mats that support a variety of microorganisms. Despite its small size, cushion spleenwort plays an important ecological role in soil stabilization and nutrient cycling. Its intricate structure and adaptability make it a fascinating subject for botanical study.
