| Keywords: plant fern leaf foliage outdoor organic pattern pattern landscape forest texture grass Matteuccia is a genus of ferns with one species Matteuccia struthiopteris (common names ostrich fern,[4] fiddlehead fern or shuttlecock fern). It is a crown-forming, colony-forming plant, occurring in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in central and northern Europe,[5] northern Asia,[6] and northern North America.[7] The species epithet struthiopteris comes from Ancient Greek words, struthio meaning ostrich and pterion meaning wing. It grows from a completely vertical crown, favoring riverbanks and sandbars, but sends out lateral stolons to form new crowns. It thus can form dense colonies resistant to destruction by floodwaters. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matteuccia Matteuccia is a genus of ferns with one species Matteuccia struthiopteris (common names ostrich fern,[4] fiddlehead fern or shuttlecock fern).
