Adiantum lunulatum, also known as walking maidenhair fern, or black maidenhair,[2] is a species of maidenhair fern that is widely distributed through the southern hemisphere, notably Asia, Africa, and Madagascar. It is named after its half-moon shaped pinnae.[3]
Description
A. lunulatum grows in a creeping or semi-erect position. Its fronds are arched and tufted. The fern is notably overall very glabrous and smooth. It grows on streambanks, often on rocks in forests and woodland.[4]
