Asplenium oblongifolium is a native species of fern from New Zealand. The plant's common name is shining spleenwort and its Māori name is huruhuruwhenua.[1] A. oblongifolium is found on the North, South, Chatham and Kermadec Islands, and is found from the coast to the mountains.[2]

Taxonomy

A global phylogeny of Asplenium published in 2020 divided the genus into eleven clades,[3] which were given informal names pending further taxonomic study. A. oblongifolium belongs to the "Neottopteris clade", members of which generally have somewhat leathery leaf tissue. It formed a clade with A. northlandicum, A. obliquum, and A. obtusatum.[4]
