Linnaeus first gave the hart's-tongue fern the binomial Asplenium scolopendrium in his Species Plantarum of 1753. [4] The Latin specific epithet scolopendrium is derived from the Greek skolopendra, meaning a centipede or millipede; this is due to the sori pattern being reminiscent of a myriapod's legs. [5] [6]
Owing to the damp nature of the exposed rock faces in the bottom of the gullet, it has become colonised by hart's-tongue fern. To the west of the gullet, a grassland area surrounded by scrub and hedgerows supports a variety of plants including meadow vetchling and hop trefoil.
Entrance to Fern Cave. Fern Cave NWR is named after the eponymous cave located in the region; in it, explorers found an abundance of American hart's-tongue ferns (Asplenium scolopendrium var. americanum); in the modern day, the variation/subspecies is considered federally endangered.

The invasive rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum) has been planted at the site and hart's tongue ferns (Asplenium scolopendrium) thrive on the lime mortar of the ruined walls as do maidenhair spleenworts (Asplenium trichomanes).
The Beaver Valley in summer, looking east. Fog drifting off Georgian Bay is not uncommon. While much of the valley is heavily cultivated, it also contains several well-preserved natural habitats and is home to a number of locally and globally rare species, notably American Hart's-tongue fern (Asplenium scolopendrium var. americanum).
