Cheilanthes deltoidea subsp. silicicola can be distinguished by its small, broadly deltoid fronds, continuous false indusium, and winged rachis. It is consistently smaller (frond lamina ± 8–21 mm long, basal pinnae ± 5–15 mm long) than the typical subspecies and has an average stipe:lamina ratio of ± 1.5 (compared to ± 1 in subsp. deltoidea). When growing in the shade of rocks, as at the type locality, plants can become larger (stipe up to 45 mm long, and lamina up to 30 × 35 mm), but they never reach the average size of C. deltoidea subsp. deltoidea, and the stipe:lamina ratio remains consistent. Rhizome scales of C. deltoidea subsp. silicicola are a pale brownish colour as opposed to more castaneous in C. deltoidea subsp. deltoidea. From: Klopper, RR; van Wyk, AE. 2011.

C. deltoidea subsp. deltoidea only grows in sheltered rock crevices on south-facing aspects, where it is completely sheltered from direct sunlight. It is found mostly on granite or gneiss rock formations. From: Klopper, RR; van Wyk, AE. 2011. Pteridophyta: A new subspecies of Cheilanthes deltoidea from Gauteng and Limpopo, South Africa.
