Pentarhizidium is a genus of two Asian fern species. These species have formerly been included in Matteuccia or Onoclea . ^[1] Recent genetic analysis has determined that these two species form a discrete clade that is basal to the rest of this fern group, and so have been located in their own genus. P. orientale is sometimes grown as a garden plant.

Species

• Pentarhizidium intermedium(Christensen 1913) Hayata 1928 ^[1]
• Pentarhizidium orientale(Hooker 1860) Hayata 1928 ^[1]
