Asplenium daucifolium (common name Mauritius spleenwort) is a species of fern in the family Aspleniaceae, endemic to the Mascarene Islands.

Taxonomy

A global phylogeny of Asplenium published in 2020 divided the genus into eleven clades,[1] which were given informal names pending further taxonomic study. A. daucifolium belongs to the "Neottopteris clade", members of which generally have somewhat leathery leaf tissue. It formed a clade with A. mauritiensis.[2]
