'''''Adiantum hispidulum''''', commonly known as '''Rough Maidenhair Fern''' or '''five-fingered jack''', is a small [[fern]] in the family [[Adiantaceae]] of widespread distribution. It is found in [[Africa]], [[Australia]], [[Polynesia]], [[Malesia]], [[New Zealand]] and other Pacific Islands.<ref name=foa>{{cite web |title=''Adiantum hispidulum''|work= Flora of Australia Online|url=http://www.anbg.gov.au/abrs/online-resources/flora/stddisplay.xsql?pnid=4557}}</ref> Its fronds rise in clumps from rhizomes among rocks or in the soil in sheltered areas. ''Adiantum hispidulum'' grows in tufts or clumps among rocks or from the ground, its fronds arising from the short dark clumped rhizomes. The dark stipe measures up to 45 cm (18 in) in length. The fronds are divided into long and short narrow triangular or elliptic pinnae, each of which is divided again into smaller roughly rectangular, diamond-, or fan-shaped pinnules. Each pinnule may have 1 to 20 sori along its margins underneath. Young growth may have a pinkish tinge before it matures into the dark green foliage.<ref name=foa/><ref name=Fairley>{{cite book |author = Fairley A, Moore P |title=Native Plants of the Sydney District:An Identification Guide |year=2000 |edition= 2nd|publisher=Kangaroo Press |page=37|location=Kenthurst, NSW |isbn=0-7318-1031-7}}</ref> ''Adiantum hispidulum'' adapts readily to cultivation although may be slow growing. It is more tolerant of sun and drying out than other fern species.<ref name=enc/> {{Inc| [[Adiantum]] hispidulum, Swartz (A. pubescens, Schk.).
