Examples of cinnamon fern
cinnamon fern
Some ferns are used for food, including the fiddleheads of bracken, Pteridium aquilinum, ostrich fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris, and cinnamon fern, Osmunda cinnamomea.
From the en.wikipedia.org
This fern demands water and space because it can get very tall, but the plant is so interesting when it bears cinnamon-brown fronds covered with spores.
