Polypodiopteris was first described by C.F. Reed in 1948.[1]

Species

In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the genus has three species. As of February 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World placed all three in a more broadly circumscribed genus Selliguea:[2]
