'''''Adiantum bellum''''' ('''Bermuda Maidenhair Fern''') is a species of [[fern]] in the genus ''[[Adiantum]]'', native to [[Bermuda]].  It is one of 19 native Bermuda fern species and the only native maidenhair (g.

Bermuda Maidenhair Fern is deciduous. In the wild it grows in crevices, on cliffs and under rock ledges, in roadside verge, and terrestrially on hillsides.  It does require moisture and shade, and is often prolific near streams if in well-drained sites.<ref name="Phillips"/><ref name="Rugg"/><ref name="Gilbert">Gilbert, Benjamin D.
