THE ASPLENIA (The Spleenworts) The Spleenwort genus is represented in the British Isles by no less than ten species, viz. Asp. trichomanes, Asp. viride, Asp. adiantum nigrum, Asp. lanceolatum, Asp. marinum, Asp. ruta- muraria, Asp. septentrionale, Asp. germaniciim, Asp. fontanum, and Asp. ceterach, the last of which is usually known as Ceterach officinarum, but by all generic distinctions is a true Spleenwort. The allocation of Athyrium filix-fcemina to the Spleenwort family is, in every Fern-grower's opinion, too absurd to be discussed, as it.
