Adiantum tricholepis forms gracefully arching or pendulous clusters of fronds with hairs in the ultimate segments.

Adiantum tricholepis is a distinctive maidenhair fern that creeps and produces gracefully arching or pendulous clusters of fronds. The ultimate segments of the fronds are hairy, a rather unusual feature for a maidenhair. It performs best in soils with high organic matter and plenty of moisture but will tolerate dry situations.
