Scientific Names

Read about Ceropteris in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Ceropteris (Greek, wax fern). Polypodiaceae. Hothouse ferns of rather small size, interesting for the powdery covering on the leaves. A rather small group somewhat related to Pteris, characterized most conspicuously by having the under surface of the lvs. covered with a colored powder, often silver, white or bright yellow (so-called silver and gold ferns). The sporangia are borne in indefinite lines and are unprotected by any indusium. The species of Ceropteris have in the past been classified under the generic name Gymnogramma, but fern students are now generally agreed in separating it as a distinct genus. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
