Bird's nest fern is a commonly used term to describe a specific type of fern that has a nest-like appearance. However, there are several other synonyms that can be used to describe this fern which include Asplenium nidus, crows nest fern, or simply nest fern.
The Asplenium nidus is the scientific name of the bird's nest fern and it is widely used in the botanical community. Crows nest fern is another common name due to the way the fronds curl around each other, resembling a crow's nest.
Last but not least, the Nest fern is also used occasionally to describe the bird's nest fern. This name is derived from its characteristic nest-like shape that has a central rosette of fronds that wrap around each other in a circular pattern. All these synonyms encompass the same green and luscious plant, but with slight variations in terms of origin and appearance.
