Ceratopteridaceae

/ˌsɛrətɑptərɪˈdeɪsi/ noun

Definition

A family of aquatic or wetland ferns that includes floating water ferns used in aquariums.

Etymology

From Greek 'keras' (horn) + 'pteris' (fern) + Latin '-aceae' (family suffix). Named for the distinctive horn-like or ear-like fronds that characterize these ferns.

Kelly Says

The floating fern Ceratopteris thalictroides is sometimes called the 'mosquito fern' because it reproduces so quickly in warm water that it can completely cover a pond—some gardeners use it to choke out mosquito breeding grounds.
