Description: | The Maidenhair Spleenwort is a small evergreen fern that is found all around the world in the northern temperate zone - it has been recorded from North America, Europe and Asia. It grows in moist, shady environments mainly in wooded areas but also on mossy boulders or on old stone walls. Traditionally the fronds of this fern were dried and used to make a laxative tea in parts of northern Europe. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East plants natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
