(43-46, 49) ASPLENIUM

Among the most attractive, the Asplenium ferns are also among the most diversified Hawaiian plants as far as appearance is concerned. Showing wide variety in choice of habitat they range from moist jungles to arid lava flows. A number of the species may be recognized by the similarity in shape of the leaf segments, and the long, parallel rows of spores, but all do not show these characteristics. Nine species have been found in the Kilauea Section of the Park.

Asplenium contiguum. M, (43).

Asplenium Macraei. M, (46). IWAIWA O KANE. D, (44).

PIIPIILAU MANAMANA. M, (45).

IWAIWA. D, (49).
