Adiantum apalophyllum Gardner & Ettingshausen (1880) is a fossil name, not a living plant. It was described from leaf impressions in the British Eocene flora; GBIF holds it through the Paleobiology Database and there are no living records. It cannot be collected or grown, so this profile gives no cultivation targets.
