List of fern families

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below are lists of extant fern families and subfamilies using the classification scheme proposed by the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group in 2016 (PPG I).[1] The scheme is based on molecular phylogenetic studies, and also draws on earlier classifications,[1] particularly those by Smith et al. (2006),[2] Chase and Reveal (2009),[3] and Christenhusz et al. (2011).[4] It rejects the very broad circumscription of some families used by Christenhusz and Chase (2014), whose Aspleniaceae corresponds to the entire suborder Aspleniineae of PPG I.[1][5]

Systematic order

[edit]
  • Class Polypodiopsida Cronquist, Takht. & W.Zimm. (ferns, including horsetails)
  • Subclass Equisetidae Warm. (horsetails and scouring-rushes)
  • Subclass Ophioglossidae Klinge (whisk ferns, adder's-tongues and moonworts)
  • Subclass Polypodiidae Cronquist, Takht. & W.Zimm. (leptosporangiate ferns)
