'''''Adiantum''''' ('''maidenhair fern''') is a [[genus]] of about 200 species of [[fern]]s in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Pteridaceae]], though some researchers place it in its own family, Adiantaceae. The genus name comes from the [[Greek language|Greek]], meaning "not wetting", referring to the [[frond]]s' ability to shed water without becoming wet.
They are distinctive in appearance, with dark, often black [[Stipe (botany)|stipes]] and [[rachis]]es, and bright green, often delicately-cut [[leaf]] tissue. The sori are borne submarginally, and are covered by reflexed flaps of leaf tissue which resemble indusia. Dimorphism between sterile and fertile fronds is generally subtle.
They generally prefer [[humus]]-rich, moist, well-drained sites, ranging from bottomland [[soil]]s to vertical rock walls. Many species are especially known for growing on rock walls around [[waterfall]]s and water seepage areas.
The highest species diversity is in the [[Andes]] in [[South America]]. Fairly high diversity also occurs in eastern [[Asia]], with nearly 40 species in [[China]].
Two species are commonly native to the eastern [[United States]], with one of these common to western [[Europe]]. The Five-finger fern (''Adiantum pedatum'') is a distinctively American species, with a highly distinctive frond form and a bifurcating frond that radiates pinnae on one side only (see photo in taxobox). It grows from sub-arctic [[North America]] into the deep south of the U.S. The other American species, which also grows in Europe, is the Venus-hair fern (''Adiantum capillus-veneris''). This fern is strictly a southern species in the U.S., and in Europe is confined to the mild, humid [[Atlantic (ocean)|Atlantic]] fringes, including the west of the [[British Isles]]. A species in the western [[United States]], specifically [[California]], is Caifornia Maiden Hair (''Adiantum jordanii'').
There is a rich ''Adiantum'' flora in New Zealand with 3 endemic species (''A. cunninghamii'', ''A. viridescens'' and ''A. fulvum'')in a total of 10 recorded species. Many of these are common especially in the west and south of the islands.
Many species are grown in the [[Horticulture|horticultural]] trade, including both of the species mentioned, as well as a number of tropical species, including ''A. raddianum'' and ''[[Adiantum peruvianum|A. peruvianum]]''. <br clear = left>
