About Asplenium flaccidum G.Forst.
Asplenium flaccidum G.Forst. is a fern species that belongs to the Aspleniaceae family. Its common names are drooping spleenwort and weeping spleenwort. The species epithet flaccidum comes from a Latin root that means drooping. In its native New Zealand, this species is also known by the Māori name makawe. One documented location where A. flaccidum can be found is in a Nothofagus-Podocarp forest in the Hamilton Ecological District on New Zealand's North Island. It grows there alongside other understory fern species; one example of an associated species is the crown fern, Blechnum discolor.
