Neocheiropteris is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[2]

Taxonomy

[edit]

A molecular phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that Neocheiropteris was one of a group of closely related genera in the subfamily Microsoroideae, a group the authors termed "Lepisorus sensu lato". It species were embedded in a clade in which none of the genera appeared to be monophyletic:[3]

Lepisorus s.l.

Lepisorus s.s.

Paragramma (as Lepisorus longifolius)

Species

[edit]

As of February 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species, while noting that the distinction from Neolepisorus was not clear:[1]

Plants of the World Online submerges Neolepisorus into Neocheiropteris,[4] although placing some species that the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepts in Neolepisorus in Microsorum.[5]
