Taxonomy

Phegopteris was first described in 1852 by Carl Borivoj Presl as an unranked taxon within the genus Polypodium . It was raised to the rank of genus by Antoine Fée in the same year. [4]

The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) recognizes three genera in the subfamily Phegopteridoideae: Macrothelypteris , Phegopteris and Pseudophegopteris . [3] As of January 2020, both the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World and Plants of the World Online regarded Pseudophegopteris as a synonym of Phegopteris. [2] [1]

As of June 2025, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepted the following species: [2]

Plants of the World Online listed further species which the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World treats in Pseudophegopteris [1] [2]
