''Asplenium unisorum'', the singlesorus island spleenwort, is a species of fern endemic to the Hawaiian Islands The Hawaiian Islands () are an archipelago of eight major volcanic islands, several atolls, and numerous smaller islets in the Pacific Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, extending some from the Hawaii (island), island of Hawaii in the south to nort .... It only lives between 650 and 700 m in the Wai'anae Mountains on the island of O'ahu. It is classified as critically endangered, with a fragmented, actively shrinking mature population of around 1,148. Description It grows 0.5-3.0cm tall, with a 0.5-1.0cm diameter. Leaf stalks branch off the main stem, which also features a few "small black scales". The stalks themselves are "black and shiny", around 2.0-5.0cm long. Branching off from the stalks, the fronds of the fern are 8.0-30.0cm tall by 0.5-3.0cm broad. References unisorum Plants described in 1951 Endemic flora of Hawaii Native ferns of Hawaii {{ ...

Hawaiian Islands
The Hawaiian Islands () are an archipelago of eight major volcanic islands, several atolls, and numerous smaller islets in the Pacific Ocean, North Pacific Ocean, extending some from the Hawaii (island), island of Hawaii in the south to northernmost Kure Atoll. Formerly called the Sandwich Islands by Europeans, the present name for the archipelago is derived from the name of its largest island, Hawaii. The archipelago sits on the Pacific Plate. The islands are exposed peaks of a great undersea mountain range known as the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain, formed by volcano, volcanic activity over the Hawaiian hotspot. The islands are about from the nearest continent and are part of the Polynesia subregion of Oceania. The U.S. state of Hawaii occupies the archipelago almost in its entirety (including the mostly uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands), with the sole exception of Midway Atoll (a United States Minor Outlying Island). Hawaii is the only U.S. state that is sit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Frond
A frond is a large, divided leaf. In both common usage and botanical nomenclature, the leaves of ferns are referred to as fronds and some botanists restrict the term to this group. Other botanists allow the term frond to also apply to the large leaves of cycads, as well as palms (Arecaceae) and various other flowering plants, such as mimosa or sumac. "Frond" is commonly used to identify a large, compound leaf, but if the term is used botanically to refer to the leaves of ferns and algae it may be applied to smaller and undivided leaves. Fronds have particular terms describing their components. Like all leaves, fronds usually have a stalk connecting them to the main stem. In botany, this leaf stalk is generally called a Petiole (botany), petiole, but in regard to fronds specifically it is called a Stipe (botany), stipe, and it supports a flattened blade (which may be called a lamina), and the continuation of the stipe into this portion is called the rachis. The blades may be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Asplenium
''Asplenium'' is a genus of about 700 species of ferns, often treated as the only genus in the family (biology), family Aspleniaceae, though other authors consider ''Hymenasplenium'' separate, based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences, a different chromosome count, and structural differences in the rhizomes. The type species for the genus is ''Asplenium marinum''. The most common vernacular name is spleenworts, applied to the more "typical" species. ''Asplenium nidus, A. nidus'' and several similar species are called bird's-nest ferns, the ''Camptosorus'' group is known as walking ferns, and distinct names are applied to some other particularly well-known species. Etymology From Neo-Latin, New Latin ''asplenium'' (“spleenworts”), Carolus Linnaeus, Linnaeus's adjustment of Latin ''asplenon'' (“spleenwort”), from Ancient Greek ἄσπληνον (''ásplēnon'', “spleenwort”), from ἀ- (''a-'', “un-”) + σπλήν (''splḗn'', “spleen”) + -ο� ...
