silver fern
New Zealand symbol
A silver fern is a tree fern native to New Zealand, named for the silvery-white undersides of its fronds.
The distinctive frond has become New Zealand's unofficial national emblem, appearing on sports uniforms, military insignia, and commercial branding: The All Blacks wear the silver fern.
New Zealanders abroad often use it as a mark of national identity.
