Psuedohegopteris is a genus of ferns in the family Thelypteridaceae, subfamily Phegopteridoideae, in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[2] Species are native to tropical Africa, Asia, Malesia, and the Pacific islands.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]Pseudophegopteris was first described in 1963 by Ren-Chang Ching.[3]
The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) recognizes three genera in the subfamily Phegopteridoideae: Macrothelypteris, Phegopteris and Pseudophegopteris.[2] As of June 2025[update], it is accepted by the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World, while [1] Plants of the World Online regards Pseudophegopteris as a synonym of Phegopteris.[4]
