A complete binomial name is always treated grammatically as if it were a phrase in the Latin language (hence the common use of the term "Latin name" for a binomial name). However, the two parts of a binomial name can each be derived from a number of sources, of which Latin is only one. These include:
Below are lists of extant fern families and subfamilies using the classification scheme proposed by the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group in 2016 (PPG I). [1] The scheme is based on molecular phylogenetic studies, and also draws on earlier classifications, [1] particularly those by Smith et al. (2006), [2] Chase and Reveal (2009), [3] and Christenhusz et al. (2011). [4]
The ferns (Polypodiopsida or Polypodiophyta) are a group of vascular plants (plants with xylem and phloem) that reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.They differ from mosses by being vascular, i.e., having specialized tissues that conduct water and nutrients, and in having life cycles in which the branched sporophyte is the dominant phase.

Struthiopteris spicant, syn. Blechnum spicant, is a species of fern in the family Blechnaceae, known by the common names hard-fern [3] or deer fern. It is native to Europe, western Asia, northern Africa, and western North America. [1] [4] Like some other species in the family Blechnaceae, it has two types of leaves.
The first known collection of the fern was made in 1860, by a Mrs. Adams, near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. [10] R. Robinson Scott was the first to identify the fern as a new species, based on specimens collected in 1861, [c] on the west bank of the Schuylkill River about 8 miles (13 km) above Philadelphia. [3]
