  Adiantum in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
Most diverse in Andean South America, Adiantum is primarily a tropical genus; of the nine species occurring in the flora, A.
The genus is absent from dry areas in the interior of the continent.
Adiantum is a very clearly circumscribed genus of ferns, the character state "sporangia borne on abaxial surface of false indusium" being both necessary and sufficient to define it.

 The History of the Kingdom of The West: The Eleventh Year
Adiantum and their Antirean 'military advisors' took the south side of Salt Creek's valley and Shasta and the Royal 'peace keepers' took the north.
The Adiantum forces were constantly refreshed with resurrected fighters from their nearby base and soon had the advantage of numbers.
In the meantime Adiantum and its allies had executed a forced march up the valley and across the creek undetected (Sir Jerald of Galloway and a few others staging a feint from the willows along the creek to distract the Shastan attention) and had circled around behind and above the Shastan position.

 Adiantum aleuticum in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
Adiantum aleuticum is disjunct in wet rock fissures at high elevations in Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Mexico in Chihuahua, and it is disjunct on serpentine in Newfoundland, Quebec, Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
Although the western maidenhair has traditionally been interpreted as an infraspecific variant of Adiantum pedatum, the two taxa are reproductively isolated and differ in an array of morphologic characteristics.
Adiantum aleuticum occurs in a variety of habitats throughout its range, from moist, wooded ravines to stark serpentine barrens and from coastal cliffs to subalpine boulder fields.

 WDNR - Adiantum Woods State Natural Area
Description: Adiantum Woods features a rich, dry-mesic forest situated on a steep north-facing slope that rises from the south bank of the Wisconsin River.
Moving upslope, a transition or continuum of vegetation is evident as the forest community shifts from mesic to dry-mesic and finally to dry forest.
Adiantum Woods is owned by the DNR and was designated a State Natural Area in 1991.

Adiantums may be recognized (usually) by their shiny, smooth, fl stipes.
However, there are many Adiantum ferns which are known as the rough maidenhairs because their stipes are dull in appearance, and bristly (due to scales).
