|discussion=<p>This delicate spleenwort, <i>Asplenium verecundum</i>, occurs in both southern and central peninsular Florida where it is very local. Sterile hybrids are known to result from crossing with <i>A. trichomanes-dentatum</i> (<i>A.</i> × <i>biscayneanum</i>) and <i>A. abscissum</i> (<i>A.</i> × <i>curtissii</i>).</p><!--
--><p><i>Asplenium verecundum</i> may be a variety or cytotype of the similar A. myriophyllum (Swartz) C. Presl of the West Indies (D. B. Lellinger 1985).</p>
