List of fern families

Last updated

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]

  • 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)
