    The Silver Tree Fern (Cyathea dealbata), also known as ponga, is a species of medium-sized tree fern endemic to New Zealand.

    This fern is known to grow to heights of 10 m or more. The crown is dense, and the fronds tend to be about 4 m long and have a silver-white colouration on the undersides. This distinctive silver colouration has made them useful for laying along tracks for night walking.
