Adiantum consists of ferns that may be either deciduous or evergreen, characterized by lustrous black stems. These ferns typically feature fronds that are either simple or, more commonly, divided pinnately. The individual segments can be fan-shaped, oblong, or rounded, and they produce spores beneath reflexed marginal flaps.

Adiantum hispidulum is a fern characterized by its creeping rootstock, which forms clumps of arching fronds that reach a height of approximately 40 cm. Each frond consists of five to seven divisions, showcasing leathery segments that are closely aligned along dark black midribs. The young fronds emerge in a rosy pink hue, transitioning to a bronzy dark green as they mature. While this fern is typically deciduous, it can retain its foliage year-round in milder climates or when cultivated indoors as a houseplant.
