Biome: Temperate
This genus is monotypic, containing only the fiddlehead fern or ostrich fern. This crown-forming, colony-forming plant grows from an utterly vertical crown. It prefers to grow on riverbanks and sandbars. Its colonies are dense and resistant to destruction by flooding.
The immature fronds ("fiddleheads") are edible when cooked, and the brown scales are scraped off. In Japan, they are called "kogomi" and are considered a delicacy.
- Retained for names and distribution.
- [Ostrich] association is the most fruitful avenue for magical exploitation, as the fiddlehead association is more or less universal across ferns.
