Asaminami-ku (安佐南区) is one of the eight wards of the city of Hiroshima, located in the south of former Asa District [ja].

Asa District consisted of Gion-cho [ja], Yasufuruichi-cho [ja], Sato-cho [ja], Numata-cho [ja]. After being merged with Hiroshima in 1973, this ward was named Asaminami-ku. The largest station of Astramline, a new traffic system, is in Asaminami-ku. This system brought population inflow.[citation needed]

As of January 1, 2018, the ward has an estimated population of 245,475, with 101,941 households and a density of 2094 persons per km2. The total area is 117.24 km2.[2][1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
