thanks for your reply i wasn't aware that any of the aspleniums are aquatic i only know them as a garden plant.but that's probably showing my ignorance! i bought it from a pet shop near to me,the guy in the shop said he'd had it sat there for about six months! i paid £2.00 for it. Fingers crossed i can keep it alive as i really like the look of it.Not sure but more looks like Asplenium to me.. Nice one by the way, trying to find it for some time now. Not easy..
But wait till Darrel finds this thread, he knows ferns like nobody els on this furom.
thanks for your reply. i was looking on line yesterday and the closest looking plant i could find was bolbitis heteroclita v.cuspidata. what ever it is its a lovely looking little fernB. heudelotii? I don't think so...the leaflets are usually more elongated.

I think it is probably Hymenasplenium obscurum (syn. Asplenium cf. normale) as well.Also known as Crepidomanes auriculatum..
Article in DATZ 06-2012: Now the supposed "Crepidomanes auriculatum" from Taiwan is IDed again, and apparently finally: Hymenasplenium obscurum.
You can an image search for "Crepidomanes auriculatum" to get more images.The ID was made by Prof. Dr. R. Viane (Ghent, Belgium). He got full-grown emersed plants with sori from Christel Kasselmann, she got them from Stefan Hummel, company Dennerle. The preliminary ID as Asplenium cf. normale was made with submersed plants.
I had it for a while, but I'm not sure I have any more.my next question would be any tips on cultivation ?
Can I ask where you bought it? :♧
