Matonia is a genus of fern, named for English botanist William George Maton.[3] It is native to Thailand, Malesia (the Malayan peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, Maluku and the Philippines) and New Guinea.[2]
As of October 2019[update], Plants of the World Online and the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accept two extant species:[1][2]
- Matonia pectinata R.Br.
- Matonia foxworthyi Copel.
Matonia sarmentosa is now placed in the genus Phanerosorus as Phanerosorus sarmentosus (Baker) Copel.[1]
Matonia has a fossil record extending back to the earliest part of the Jurassic period, with Matonia braunii being known from the Hettangian aged Mecsek Coal Formation of Hungary[4] and Zagaje Formation of Poland.[5]
