silver sword

Shining steel weapon

Silver sword most commonly refers to a rare Hawaiian plant (genus *Argyroxiphium*) with silvery, sword-shaped leaves that form a striking rosette, found only on volcanic slopes.

The plant blooms once after decades of growth, then dies.

In fantasy fiction and video games, a silver sword is a weapon effective against supernatural creatures—werewolves, vampires, or monsters: You'll need the silver sword for that wraith.
