This is a summary of Asplenium adiantum-nigrum, a species of fern commonly known as black spleenwort. It is native to Africa, Europe, Eurasia, Mexico, the United States, Macaronesia, and Hawaii. It has thick, triangular leaf blades up to 10 centimeters long which are divided into several subdivided segments. It was first described by Linnaeus in 1753 and is believed to have an allopolyploid origin with A. cuneifolium supplying the paternal genome and A. onopteris the maternal genome.
