|discussion=<p>Asplenium bradleyi is a morphologically variable species, the allotetraploid derivative of A. montanum × platyneuron (W. H. Wagner Jr. 1954; D. M. Smith and D. A. Levin 1963; C. R. Werth et al. 1985). The sterile diploid form of A. bradleyi has been collected twice in nature (W. H. Wagner Jr. et al. 1973; A. M. Evans 1988), and isozyme studies indicate that the allotetraploid has had a polytopic origin (C. R. Werth et al. 1985b). Occurring rarely to locally in the Appalachian region, A. bradleyi overlaps with both progenitor taxa, but it is fairly frequent in the Ozark and Ouachita region where A. montanum is absent. Sterile hybrids with A. pinnatifidum (A. × gravesii), A. montanum (A. × wherryi D. M. Smith et al.), and A. platyneuron are known from nature.</p>
