}}Asparagus setaceus, commonly known as common asparagus fern, lace fern, climbing asparagus, or ferny asparagus, is a climbing plant in the genus Asparagus.[2] Despite its common name, the plant is not a true fern, but has leaves that resemble one.[3]

It is native to Southern Africa, and is grown elsewhere as an ornamental plant. It has become an invasive species in several locations where it has been introduced.[4]

Originally described by the German botanist Carl Sigismund Kunth, its specific name is derived from the Latin saeta "hair" or "bristle", hence "hairy".[5]

Some authorities use the name A. plumosus (plumosus Latin "plumed", referring to the foliage) as described by Baker in 1875 for this plant, or Protasparagus plumosus {{small|(Baker) Oberm}}.[6]

Description

Asparagus setaceus is a scrambling perennial herb with tough green stems, which may reach several metres in length. The leaves are actually leaf-like cladodes up to 7 mm long by 0.1 mm in diameter, which arise in clumps of up to 15 from the stem, making a fine, soft green fern-like foliage. Occurring from spring to autumn, the small greenish-white bell-shaped flowers are 0.4 cm long, and are followed by small green berries, which blacken with maturity.[7]

Cultivation

Asparagus setaceus is cultivated as an ornamental plant, for planting in garden and containers, and as a house plant. The attractive foliage is also used in floral arrangements. It is very hardy and adapts readily to cultivation.

This hardiness has helped it become a weed in Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands.[6] Other areas that regard it as an invasive species and noxious weed include the North Coast of New South Wales,[8] and Queensland, Australia.[9]

This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[10]

The fruit (berries) of this plant are toxic and should not be eaten.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}
