Black maidenhair fern is native to Europe, North and Central America, and Africa. It is popular as a house plant. Identification: This fern rarely exceeds 18" (45 cm) in height, and tends to be an inconspicuous occupant in moist, shady forests. For example, the photo at right was taken near a small bubbling brook. The leaf shape, unlike that of most ferns, is quite distinctive. Medical: Several cultures have used maidenhair fern brewed as tea to treat coughs and bronchitis. Online References:
