Athyrium asplenioides, or southern lady fern, is a species of the family Athyriaceae. It is a deciduous fern and reaches a height between 1 and 3 feet[2]
Its specific epithet asplenioides means "Asplenium-like". Many botanists instead considered it a variety of the common lady-fern, making it Athyrium filix-femina (L.) Roth, var. asplenioides (Michx.) Farwell.[3]
A. asplenioides is most commonly found in lowland forests, on and near ravine slopes, and within frequently burned pinelands.[4] It prefers environments with lower light levels, ranging from shady to deep-shady, as well as environments with moist loamy sand.[4]
It can often be found growing alongside species such as magnolias, oaks, anise, and others.[4]
