Etymology
Nardo comes from the Spanish and Italian name nardo, and is related to the English word nard, which was used for small fragrant plants like 'spikenard' or 'tuberose'. So calling this Australian clover fern a nardo follows the same simple idea — it is a plant name, which helps you remember it is a low, soft plant with clover-like leaves.
