'''''Adiantum capillus-veneris''''', the '''black maidenhair fern''', is a species of [[fern]] in the genus ''[[Adiantum]]'' with a subcosmopolitan worldwide distribution <ref>[http://scitec.uwichill.edu.bb/bcs/staff/lec/Fern_species/adiantum_capillus-veneris.htm  The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill]</ref> In the United States, it grows as far north as southern [[Missouri]] and southernmost [[Kentucky]], where it will generally be found growing on sheltered, south-facing [[limestone]].

| common_names = Black Maidenhair Fern, Southern Maidenhair Fern

 

It grows to 20-70 cm tall, with very delicate, light green [[frond]]s much subdivided into pinnae 5-10 mm long and broad; the frond rachis is black and wiry. The climate is from warm-temperate to tropical, where the moisture content is high but not saturating <ref>Cundall.

[[Adiantum]] capillus-veneris, Linn. (A. Fergusonii, A. Mairisii, Moore). Fig. 123. Lvs. 2-3- pinnate, 6-20 in. long, 3-8 in. wide; lfts. nearly 1/2in. wide, more or less irregularly lobed, at the outer margin; sori 1-3 to each 1ft. with oblong or more or less elongate narrow indusia. Native southward, and widely distributed throughout the Old World.— Exists in many varieties, some of them deeply lobed, like A. Farleyense; a compact imbricated form is very effective.{{SCH}}
