The Pteridales were an order of ferns that have their sori in linear strips under the edge of the leaf tissue, usually with the edge of the lamina reflexed over.[citation needed]
This order was reduced to the family Pteridaceae under the Smith classification of 2006,[1] a position maintained in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[2]
