Cretan Brake Fern (Pteris cretica)

            Pteris cretica, the Cretan Brake Fern, is a slow-growing evergreen fern in the family Pteridaceae, native to Europe, Asia and Africa. It is cultivated widely by plant nurseries and used in gardens; in the ground as a potted plant, and; as a houseplant.  It thrives outdoors in subtropical climates such as here in California.

The genus name comes from the Greek 'pteris' meaning "fern", in reference to the feathery fronds.  Specific epithet, 'cretica' means "of or from Crete", in reference to part of the native range of this species.
