Pteridaceae is a family of ferns in the order Polypodiales.,[2] including some 1150 known species in ca 45 genera[3] (depending on taxonomic opinions), divided over five subfamilies.[4] The family includes four groups of genera that are sometimes recognized as separate families: the adiantoid, cheilanthoid, pteroid, and hemionitidoid ferns. Relationships among these groups remain unclear, and although some recent genetic analyses of the Pteridales suggest that neither the family Pteridaceae nor the major groups within it are all monophyletic, as yet these analyses are insufficiently comprehensive and robust to provide good support for a revision of the order at the family level.
Description
Members of Pteridaceae have creeping or erect rhizomes. The leaves are almost always compound and have linear sori that are typically on the margins of the leaves and lack a true indusium, typically being protected by a false indusium formed from the reflexed margin of the leaf.
Taxonomy
Smith et al. (2006) carried out the first higher-level pteridophyte classification published in the molecular phylogenetic era.[5] Smith referred to the ferns as monilophytes, dividing them into four groups. The vast majority of ferns were placed in the Polypodiopsida.
In 2016, the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group divided order Polypodiales into six suborders. Pteridaceae is the sole family in suborder Pteridiineae, with 52 genera. The suborder has the same circumscription as Smith et al. used for the family. The phylogenetic relationship between these six suborders is shown in this cladogram:[6]

Traditional groups

As traditionally defined, the groups within Pteridaceae are as follows:
- Adiantoid ferns (tribe Adianteae Gaudich. 1829[7]); epipetric, terrestrial or epiphytic in moist habitats, rachis often dichotomously branching; sori relatively small and discrete with sporangia born on the false indusium rather than the leaf blade proper; only one genus:
- Cheilanthoid ferns; primarily epipetric in semiarid habitats; leaves mostly with well-developed scales or trichomes, often bipinnate or otherwise highly compound; sporangia mostly born in marginal sori with false indusia that are +/- continuous around the leaf margins; several genera, including:
- Argyrochosma (J.Sm.) Windham – false cloak ferns
- Aspidotis (Nutt. ex Hook.) Copel. – lace ferns
- Astrolepis D.M.Benham & Windham – cloak ferns
- Cheilanthes Sw. – lip ferns
- Notholaena R.Br. – cloak ferns
- Pellaea Link – cliff brakes[8][9]
- Pteridoid ferns (tribe Pterideae J. Sm 1841[10]); terrestrial and epipetric in moist habitats; leaves mostly without prominent scales or trichomes, most often pinnate but sometimes more compound; sporangia born in marginal sori with false indusia that are +/- continuous around the leaf margins; several genera, including:
- Parkerioid ferns (tribe Parkerieae Brongn. 1843[11]); aquatic in swamps and/or mangroves, including:
- Acrostichum L. – leather ferns
- Ceratopteris Brongn.[8][9]
- Hemionitidoid ferns; terrestrial, epipetric or epiphytic in moist or semiarid habitats; leaves simple, pinnate, or more compound; sporangia born in linear non-marginal, exindusiate sori or sometimes in marginal sori; several genera, including:
- Anogramma Link
- Cryptogramma R.Br. – rock brakes
- Eriosorus Fée
- Hemionitis L.
- Jamesonia Hook. & Grev.
- Pityrogramma Link – gold ferns[8][9]
- Vittarioid ferns (tribe Vittarieae C. Presl 1836[12]); primarily epiphytic in tropical regions and all have simple leaves with sori that follow the veins and lack true indusia:
- Anetium Splitg. 1840
- Antrophyum Kaulf. 1875
- Hecistopteris (L.) Sm. 1842
- Monogramma Comm. ex Schkuhr 1809
- Vittaria (L.) Sm. 1793 – Shoestring fern
Subfamilies
Based on phylogenetic research, Christenhusz et al. (2011) divided the Pteridaceae genera into the following subfamilies.[2] These roughly correspond with the groups listed above, with the main difference being that adiantoid and vittarioid ferns are combined under the Vittarioideae subfamily name.
- Cryptogrammoideae S.Linds. 2009
- Genera: Coniogramme, Cryptogramma, Llavea
- Ceratopteridoideae (J.Sm.) R.M.Tryon 1986
- Genera: Acrostichum, Ceratopteris
- Pteridoideae C.Chr. ex Crabbe, Jermy & Mickel 1975
- Genera: Actiniopteris, Anogramma, Austrogramme, Cerosora, Cosentinia, Jamesonia (incl. Eriosorus and Nephopteris), Onychium, Pityrogramma, Pteris (incl. Neurocallis & Platyzoma), Pterozonium, Syngramma, Taenitis, Tryonia
- Cheilanthoideae W.C.Shieh 1973
- Genera: Adiantopsis, Aleuritopteris, Allosorus, Argyrochosma, Aspidotis, Astrolepis, Bommeria, Calciphilopteris, Cheilanthes, Cheiloplecton, Doryopteris, Gaga, Hemionitis, Lytoneuron, Mildella, Myriopteris, Notholaena, Ormopteris, Paragymnopteris, Parahemionitis, Pellaea, Pentagramma, Trachypteris
- Vittarioideae (C.Presl) Crabbe, Jermy & Mickel 1975
- Genera: Adiantum, Ananthacorus, Antrophyopsis, Antrophyum, Haplopteris, Hecistopteris, Polytaenium, Radiovittaria, Rheopteris, Scoliosorus, Vaginularia, Vittaria
