Taxonomy
editA molecular phylogenetic study of the subfamily Microsoroideae in 2019 suggested that the genus was monophyletic, being sister to Microsorum, together forming one of the three main clades in the subfamily:[2]

Species
editThe Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) suggests that the genus contains about 10 species.[1] As of February 2020[update], the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World noted that the species circumscription was "fairly controversial and fluctuating", and accepted 34 species and hybrids:[3]
