Asplenium marinum is a fern known as the sea spleenwort because of its preference for maritime habitats. Located around the coasts of Europe from Italy in the South to Norway in the North,[1] its most Southern distribution extends to the Northern islands of Tunisia (Galitte islands).[2]

Linnaeus was the first to describe sea spleenwort with the binomial Asplenium marinum in his Species Plantarum of 1753.[3]
