This species is a sterile hybrid between the southern maidenhair (Adiantum capillus-veneris) and another unknown species. The species is hypothesised to be: Adiantum raddianum; Adiantum aethiopicum; Adiantum cuneatum; This species is more frost-resistant than either of its parents. [2] [1]
Adiantum (/ ˌ æ d i ˈ æ n t əm /), [1] the maidenhair fern (not to be confused with the similar-looking maidenhair spleenwort fern), is a genus of about 250 species of ferns in the subfamily Vittarioideae of the family Pteridaceae, [2] though some researchers place it in its own family, Adiantaceae.
Adiantum capillus-veneris, the Southern maidenhair fern, black maidenhair fern, maidenhair fern, [3] and venus hair fern, is a species of ferns in the genus Adiantum and the family Pteridaceae [4] with a subcosmopolitan worldwide distribution. It is cultivated as a popular garden fern and houseplant. [5]
Adiantum formosum, known as the giant maidenhair or black stem maidenhair is a fern found in Australia and New Zealand. It was one of the many species authored by Scottish botanist Robert Brown , appearing in his 1810 work Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen . [ 1 ]
The species was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It was lectotypified by R.E.G. Pichi-Sermolli in 1957 based on an illustration by James Petiver.The identifiability of this illustration was disputed, leading some authorities to deprecate A. philippense as a nomen dubium and use the next available name for the taxon, Adiantum lunulatum Burm.f..

Adiantum alarconianum is a South American maidenhair fern. First scientifically collected in the early 1800s in Ecuador , it is found in neighboring parts of Peru as well. Its iridescent stem scales help to differentiate it from other related ferns.
A. aleuticum typically grows about 18-30 inches tall and wide. [2] The fronds grow 6–10 in (15–25 cm) tall, [3] and are fan-shaped, light to medium green with dark brown to black stems. [4]
