Family of ferns
Cystopteridaceae is a family of ferns in the order Polypodiales . In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the family is placed in the suborder Aspleniineae of the order Polypodiales , and includes three genera.[ 2] Alternatively, it may be treated as the subfamily Cystopteridoideae of a very broadly defined family Aspleniaceae .[ 3]
Cystopteridaceae are small or medium-sized ferns in forests and crevices.[ 4] They generally have thin laminae, and small, round, naked sori .
Genera
Three genera are accepted in the PPG I classification, and by the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World as of August 2022[update] . One hybrid genus also exists:[ 2] [ 1]
Cystopteris chinensis has been placed in a separate genus, Cystoathyrium , but the genus is not accepted by recent sources.[ 5] [ 6]
Phylogenetic relationships
Gymnocarpium and Cystopteris have been found to be sister to the remaining Aspleniineae.[ 4]
