Asplenium viride

Green Spleenwort: for more photos, see Sitka Nature Photo Gallery for Asplenium viride

Green Spleenwort (Asplenium viride): Expected throughout much of the region. Collections seem to primarily be from outer islands and the northern mainland. Seems to be scattered, though can be locally fairly common, especially in some limestone areas and also on the ultramafic bluffs at Red Bluff Bay.
