See comment re A.atroviride and A. capillus-veneris on other sighting nearby. This is a young frond so hard to be certain.

Adiantum aethiopicum

Where possible , it's a good idea to photograph the spores as well. This is almost certainly A. aethiopicum, but A. atroviride and A. capillus-veneris can look similar.

The other fern looks like Aplenium gracillimum (previously known as Asplenium bulbiferum)

@plants . Good morning !

Within the last 5–10 years the name has been updated to Lateristachys lateralis .

Which NatureMapr's taxonomy already has .
Hence _Lycopodiella lateralis_ is a synonym of this updated name.
Hence this sighting of yours requires re-identifying by this updated name and this name _Lycopodiella lateralis_ reduced to a synonym within the _Lateristachys lateralis_ species page .

I am catching up with this too.
When i first learned this species in the late 1980s i think i recall it was named _Lycopodium laterale_ R.Br. .
