(Osmundastrum cinnamomeum)
Osmundastrum cinnamomeum is a sausage vegetable species described by Presl . Osmundastrum cinnamomeum is included in the genus Osmundastrum and the Osmundaceae family. Osmunda is a genus of primarily temperate-zone ferns of family Osmundaceae. Five to ten species have been listed for this genus. Completely dimorphic fronds or pinnae (hemidimorphic), green photosynthetic sterile fronds, and non-photosynthetic spore-bearing fertile pinnae, with large, naked sporangia. Because of the large mass of sporangia that ripen uniformly at the same time to a showy golden color, the ferns look as if they are in flower, and so this genus is sometimes called the "flowering ferns".
