Which is a type of fern, Adiantum or Hylomecon?
Adiantum Adiantum , the walking fern or maidenhair fern, is a genus of about 250 species of ferns in the Vittarioideae subfamily of the family Pteridaceae, though some researchers place it in its own family, "Adiantaceae". The genus name comes from Greek, meaning "not wetting", referring to the fronds' ability to shed water without becoming wet.
Dryopteris filix-mas Dryopteris filix-mas, the male fern, is a common fern of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, native to much of Europe, Asia, and North America. It favours damp shaded areas in the understory of woodlands, but also shady places on hedge-banks, rocks, and screes. It is much less abundant in North America than in Europe. The plant is sometimes referred to in ancient literature as worm fern.
