  1. male fern

    The male fern is a species of fern in the family Dryopteridaceae with the scientific name Dryopteris filix-mas. It is a large, deciduous plant native to much of the northern hemisphere, known for its broad, pinnate fronds that can grow up to a meter long. The plant gets its name from its robust, vigorous growth habit, which distinguishes it from the smaller and more delicate 'female' fern (Athyrium filix-femina). It is commonly used in horticulture and has also been used traditionally for medicinal purposes.
