disagree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Cones are different. I think the asker wants subtypes of the fiddlehead. This is the stage when it's open and looks like a cane.

Encontré también el término "bishop's staff" (bastón de obispo), que posiblemente se refiera a los "bastones":

Me parece que "shepherd's crook, bishop's crozier, and fiddlehead" podrían ser los términos adecuados.

disagree  Muriel Vasconcellos: I think the three types are degrees of opening of the fiddlehead, or crozier.
