Aleuritopteris is a genus of ferns in the Cheilanthoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae.^[1]^[3] As with some other genera of the Cheilanthoideae, molecular phylogenetic studies have suggested that it is not monophyletic,^[1] and so may need to be circumscribed differently in future.

Taxonomy

Aleuritopteris is one of a number of genera split off from Cheilanthes in some approaches,^[2] including the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), in which the genus has about 40 species.^[1] As of August 2019^[update], Plants of the World Online includes Aleuritopteris within Hermionitis,^[4] a much smaller Cheilanthoideae genus in PPG I.^[1] Allosorus was recognized as a separate genus in PPG I, but was included in Aleuritopteris by the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World as of January 2020^[update] on the grounds that it was wrongly lectotypified.^[2]
