Matteuccia struthiopteris
Ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris)
Where found: Temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in eastern and northern Europe, northern Asia and northern North America.
Description: The Ostrich fern or Shuttlecock fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) is a crown-forming, colony-forming fern. 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.
