Matteuccia is a genus of ferns with one species: Matteuccia struthiopteris common names ostrich fern, fiddlehead fern, or shuttlecock fern. The fronds are dimorphic, with the deciduous green sterile fronds being almost vertical, 100–170 cm 39–67 in tall and 20–35 cm 7.9–13.8 in broad, long-tapering to the base but short-tapering to the tip, so that they resemble ostrich plumes, hence the name.
