How to identify Royal fern (Osmunda regalis)
Royal fern, also known as Water fern, Osmund royal, Bog onion, Common flowering fern, Kidney fern, Royal osmund fern, European royal fern
Royal fern is distinguished by its statuesque presence, typically forming clumps reaching 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters) in height. With a profusion of fronds that display large, well-spaced leaflets, it bears a unique resemblance to members of the pea family. As the seasons turn, its fronds undergo a transformation from their verdant summer hue to autumnal shades of yellow and brown. Notably, it bears spore clusters in brown, tassel-like arrangements at the frond tips, a feature lending to its nickname of 'flowering fern.'

The leaves of royal fern are binnate with pinnae that resemble locust tree leaves, featuring a few scattered hairs. The fronds are pale pink in spring. The pinnae are not opposite and are widely spaced. Each pinnule is narrow, oblong, and has a blunt or rounded tip. The stipe is rounded with a slightly grooved face.
