matteuccia

These species have formerly been included in Matteuccia or Onoclea.

Food plants for this species include Athyrium, Dryopteris, and Matteuccia.

The larvae feed on Matteuccia and Osmundastrum species.

Matteuccia struthiopteris is the only species in the genus Matteuccia.

Formerly classified as a member of the Dryopteridaceae, Matteuccia has been reassigned to the new much smaller family Onocleaceae.

In Maine fiddlehead ferns mostly of the Matteuccia struthiopteris species are picked in the spring time and often sold.

The rhizomes are long- to short-creeping to ascending, and sometimes stoloniferous (Matteuccia and Onocleopsis).

Matteuccia de Francesco (died 1428) was an alleged Italian witch and nun, known as the "Witch of Ripabianca" after the village where she lived.

Those are respectively a Matteuccia struthiopteris, a Laportea canadensis, an Onoclea sensibilis, and a Rorippa amphibia variant.

The four genera: Matteuccia, Onoclea, Onocleopsis, and Pentarhizidium may be included under the single genus Onoclea.

Ferns and many herbaceous flowering plants often form clonal colonies via horizontal underground stems termed rhizomes, e.g. ostrich fern Matteuccia struthiopteris and goldenrod.

Formerly, the two species in the genus Pentarhizidium were considered to be members of Matteuccia, but genetic analysis has determined that they compose a basal sister clade to the rest of the family.

In the spring before the leaf canopy develops, the beautiful unfurling leaves of the ostrich fern Matteuccia struthiopteris blend with a carpet of Anemone, Scilla, Sanguinaria and many others.
