What is another word for Genus Pityrogramma?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs pˈɪtɪɹˌɒɡɹamə] (IPA) 
The Genus Pityrogramma is composed of fern species that are commonly known as 'maidenhair ferns.' Some synonyms for the Genus Pityrogramma include Adiantum, Gymnogramma, and Bredemeyera. These other genera are now obsolete, and the species once classified as belonging to them are all now grouped under the Pityrogramma genus. The name Pityrogramma is derived from the Greek words pitys, meaning 'pine tree,' and gramma, meaning 'line.' This refers to the parallel veins on the underside of the fern's fronds that resemble the needles of a pine tree. Maidenhair ferns are known for their lacy, delicate fronds and are popular ornamental plants in gardens and indoor settings.
