... During the second site visit of the 2 nd April 2016, some 40 specimens of Asplenium trichomanes were discovered at Rdum il-Qawwi. This species is also rare and endangered in the Maltese islands; it was listed as 'possibly extinct' in the Red Data Book (Lanfranco 1989), but its presence was subsequently reconfirmed by Tabone (2007) and by one of the present authors (Mifsud 2009). ...
Asplenium sagittatum is a rare, indigenous fern which was assumed extinct in the dated Maltese Red Data book until 2008 when a small number of individuals was rediscovered. New records of this fern are reported, including a large and important population located in the north of mainland Malta. For the first time, the anatomical characters of Maltese material are described and compared with those of material from central Europe. The paper also presents taxonomical clarifications dealing with A. scolopendrium, as also the results of a local Red List assessment for this endangered fern.
