WHAT DOES OSMUNDA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

osmunda

Osmunda

Osmunda is a genus of primarily temperate-zone ferns of family Osmundaceae. Five to ten species have been listed for this genus. The species have completely dimorphic fronds or pinnae, green photosynthetic sterile fronds, and non-photosynthetic spore-bearing fertile pinnae, with large, naked sporangia. Because of the large mass of sporangia that ripen uniformly at the same time to a showy golden color, the ferns look as if they are in flower, and so this genus is sometimes called the "flowering ferns". The genus is known in the fossil record back to the Triassic period from fragmentary foliage nearly identical to the living Osmunda claytoniana.

Definition of osmunda in the English dictionary

The definition of osmunda in the dictionary is any fern of the genus Osmunda, such as the royal fern, having large spreading fronds: family Osmundaceae.
