Asplenium montanum commonly known as the mountain spleenwort is a small fern of the Appalachian Mountains. First described in 1810 it grows in small crevices in sandstone cliffs with highly acid soil. It can be recognized by its dark blue-green highly divided leaves. A. montanum is the ancestor through hybridization of several other ferns of similar habitat.
