Adiantum bellum
Adiantum bellum (Bermuda maidenhair fern) is a species of fern in the family Pteridaceae, and is native to Bermuda.
It is 1 of 19 ferns native to Bermuda, the only native maidenhair, and the most prolific fern on the island. It is found only on Bermuda; however, the IPNI reports it also found in Guiana.
Bermuda maidenhair fern is sometimes grown in gardens; however, it is not hardy and does better indoors. It prefers low to medium light, and moist potting mix. The cultivar Adiantum raddianum 'Pacottii' has been mislabeled as this species in the horticultural trade.
