Adiantum monochlamys

A temperate East Asian maidenhair, known in Japan as Hakone-shida, with nearly 900 wild records from Japan plus a few from Korea and China. It grows on shaded forest slopes with hot, humid summers and cold winters near freezing, so it needs a real winter chill rather than tropical warmth.
