Scientific name of ferns

What_is_the_scientific_name_of_a_fern_plant"Fern" is a generic term used to describe a group of plants with common physical and biological features; the question is the same as asking "What is the scientific name of a tree". There are hundreds if not thousands of different types of ferns, the question needs to be more specific.

HOWEVER, most "ferns" belong to the plant Division: Pteridophyta, but that is as far as the taxonomy can be taken without more information.
