Asplenium daghestanicum, the Dagestanian spleenwort, is a species of spleenwort that is endemic to Dagestan in Russia. It is known only from Agulsky and Khivsky districts. It can be found on shaded schist rocks in the middle montane zone, at elevations from 1,800–2,300 m. Its population is estimated to be 1,500–2,000 mature individuals. It is threatened by the effects of climate change on its microhabitat.[1]
