Published on
New Zealand’s silver fern, the ponga tree fern Cyathea dealbata, is named for a pale underside that Māori turned upward to mark forest trails at night. This Silver Fern color (#e1ddbf) is a pale greenish cream, closer to that frond’s back than its dark top. Te Ara, the Encyclopedia of New Zealand, traces the fern’s role as a national emblem to 1888, when the New Zealand Natives rugby team first wore it on their tour of Britain.
