+''Adiantum formosum'' is an attractive plant, with fronds up to 120 cm (48 in) high.<ref name=plantnet>{{cite web |title=''Adiantum formosum''|work= PlantNET - NSW Flora Online|url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Adiantum~formosum|accessdate=2010-07-20}}</ref> The rhizome of this species is unusually deep, up to 60 cm (24 in) below into the earth. The stems are black and can reach 90 cm (36 in) in length, while the fronds or blades are triangular with rectangular segments. The last segment of the frond is irregular and asymmetrical, on a short stem. This ''maidenhair'' fern can grow to 2 metres (7 ft) tall.<ref>Cundall.
