Taxonomy

Georg Friedrich Kaulfuss distinguished the genus in 1824 based on samples of S. cyatheoides acquired by Adelbert von Chamisso in 1821. Chamisso had been serving as the naturalist for a Russian scientific expedition led by Otto von Kotzebue aboard the vessel Rurick. [2] Kaulfuss named the genus after Joseph Sadler (1791–1849), a Hungarian naturalist who studied European ferns. [2]

Species

As of July 2025, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepted the following six species: [3]

The Halemaʻumaʻu crater on Kīlauea is named after S. cyatheoides.
