Arachniodes is a fern genus in the family Dryopteridaceae (wood ferns). A number of species in this genus are known as "holly ferns".[2]

The genus Arachniodes was first published by Carl Ludwig von Blume in 1828, with the single Indonesian species Arachniodes aspidioides.[3] But the genus wasn't widely recognized until Mary Douglas Tindale transferred the two species Byrsopteris amabilis and Byrsopteris aristata into it in 1961.[4]

Species

Arachniodes species include but are not limited to those in the following list. A species name preceded by (=) is considered by the referenced authority to be a synonym of the accepted species name listed above it.

1828 Blume

Carl Ludwig von Blume published a description of the first Arachniodes species in Enumeratio Plantarum Javae et Insularum Adjacentium (An Enumeration of the Plants of Java and Adjacent Islands) in 1828.

1961 Tindale

The next Arachniodes species descriptions were published by Mary Douglas Tindale in Contributions from the New South Wales National Herbarium, volume 3, number 1, in 1961. This transferred two species from Conrad Vernon Morton's one-year-old Byrsopteris genus to Blume's 133-year-old Arachniodes genus.

Leptorumohra

The genus Leptorumohra was segregated from the genus Rumohra in 1938 by Hiroshi Itô.[25] In 1962, Jisaburo Ohwi included at least three of the Leptorumohra species in Arachniodes, but these placements were not universally accepted.[25] In 2006, Alan Reid Smith & al. in "A classification for extant ferns" included the genus Leptorumohra in Arachniodes.[26] Leptorumohra species, which may be considered part of the Arachniodes genus include:
