EDITORS COMMENTS
Asplenium palmatum, also known as the European Spleenwort or Common Spleenwort, is a beautiful fern species native to Europe, including the island of Madeira. This stunning botanical illustration of the plant was created by Jane Wallas Penfold and published in "Madeira Flowers, Fruits and Ferns" in 1845 by Reeve Brothers in London. The Asplenium palmatum is a member of the Aspleniaceae family and the order Polypiales, which is part of the class Pteridopsida, commonly known as the ferns. The Polypodiales order includes many other fern groups, such as the Polypodiales and the Marattiales. The illustration showcases the intricate details of the Asplenium palmatum's fronds, which are characterized by their lobed, palmately veined shape. The plant's fronds emerge from a rhizome, which sends out new growth each year. The Asplenium palmatum thrives in damp, shady environments and is commonly found in woodlands and along streams. Botanical illustrations like this one were an essential tool for botanists and plant collectors during the 19th century. They provided accurate records of plant species, allowing for the identification and classification of new discoveries. Penfold's illustration of the Asplenium palmatum is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of the time, capturing the beauty and intricacy of this common yet captivating fern species.
