Asplenium ×ebenoides R.R. Scott. Common name: Scott's Spleenwort. Phenology: May-Oct. Habitat: Moist outcrops of calcareous sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, dolostone, and on coquina limestone (shell marl), at low elevations. Distribution: VT, NJ, c. PA, OH, s. IL, and MO south to e. VA, w. NC, nw. GA, c. AL, TN, and AR.
Origin/Endemic status: Native
Taxonomy Comments: A. ×ebenoides is a sterile hybrid (chromosome complement symbolized PR). In AL, however, one population in Hale County has undergone chromosome doubling and is a fertile allotetraploid (PPRR), now treated as A. tutwilerae. Populations of "A. ×ebenoides", especially if consisting of many individuals, should be checked for fertile spores to be sure they are not A. tutwilerae.
