1. Any fern of the genus Osmunda (family Osmundaceae), the members of which bear sporangia on distinctive fronds; esp. the royal fern, Osmunda regalis. Also (in form Osmunda): the genus itself.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Species Plantarum (1753) II. 1063. Cf. earlier use by J. Petiver Musei Petiveriani Centuria VI & VII (1699) 53.

1702 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 23 1167 The roots of Osmunda are of a Subacrid and Bitterish Taste, besides the Astringency, by which they open, but the Astringency much hinders that effect.

1755 New & Compl. Dict. Arts & Sci. IV. 3500/1 Osmunda, in botany, a genus of the cryptogamia filicum class of plants.

1881 W. Brockbank in W. Robinson Wild Garden (ed. 2) xiii. 105 The brooklet was..fringed with marsh plants..together with Osmundas, Hart's-tongues, and other Ferns.

1928 Ecology 9 66 It should be remembered that other plants, like the Osmundas or certain mosses, as already shown, may play a similar, though less pronounced part [in building up acidity of bogs].

1974 R. Grounds Ferns v. 57 This method [sc. container-growing] is ideal if one wants to use a strong-growing osmunda, for example, as a specimen plant.

1990 Garden (Royal Hort. Soc.) Sept. 7/1 Fern genera that prefer wet soil or water will be introduced around RSF's semi-shaded pond garden, already home to horsetails (Equisetum) and royal and cinnamon ferns (Osmunda) along the edges and mosquito fern (Azolla) floating in the water.

1998 Victorian Soc. Jrnl. 1997 4/2 As we enter it we see gigantic osmundas rearing their stiff and majestic forms; enormous lady ferns gracefully showing their flowering feathery forms, with the noble broad ferns expanding their curved fronds to view.

2. More fully osmunda fibre, osmunda peat. A growing medium made from the roots or stems of osmundas (esp. Osmunda cinnamomea and O. claytoniana), used for orchids.
