Adiantum pedatum
L.
Polypodiaceae
Once considered a single species across its range in North America and eastern Asia, Adiantum pedatum is considered to be a complex of at least four vicariant species ( Adiantum pedatum and Adiantum aleuticum occur in North America) whilst two other very closely related species can be distinguished - one in China and at least one in Japan. Adiantum pedatum in the strict sense is restricted to deciduous woodlands in eastern North America[
