Pteridaceae

Genera 66 Accepted species 1,514 Documented here 282 Coverage 19%

We document 282 of the 1,514 accepted species in Pteridaceae. The rest are listed, with their authorities and their identifiers, inside their genus. They have no page of their own because we could not find three openly licensed photographs of them, and a page without evidence is not a page we are willing to publish.
