The fern Asplenium trichomanes (Maidenhair spleenwort) growing on a stone wall in Keswick,Cumbria UK. The picture shows plants in midsummer; those to the top and left of the frame are showing browning due to drought. A. trichomanes has a Northern and Western distribution in Britain. It is widespread globally,occurring in most of Europe,the Himalayas,the Americas and New Zealand. In the form of an infusion,the leaves have been listed as a herbal medicine. Their action seems rather non-specific (emetic,expectorant,laxative) | |
