Pteridium esculentum, commonly known as bracken fern, Austral bracken or simply bracken, is a species of the bracken genus native to a number of countries in the Southern Hemisphere. Esculentum means edible. First described as Pteris esculenta by German botanist Georg Forster in 1786,[1] it gained its current binomial name in 1908.[2] The Eora people of the Sydney region knew it as gurgi.[3]
