- Morphology General Habit
- Terrestrial (including saline and freshwater swamp dwellers) or growing on rocks; rhizome erect or creeping, solenostelic or dictyostelic with basifixed ± entire mostly non-clathrate scales
- Distribution
- As constituted here the family contains 5 genera spread throughout the tropics and warm temperate areas. Tryon and Kramer in Kubitzki, Fam. Gen. Fl. Pl. 1: 230 (1990) maintain Pteridaceae as a much larger unit with 6 subfamilies and 34 genera. See also Pichi Sermolli in Webbia 31: 393–395 (1972)
