Genera

The Elaphoglossaceae is a family of ferns that includes a clade that has been previously distributed among other families or groups. For instance, Bolbitis was long considered to be in the Lomariopsidaceae. This classification is based on the 2007 work by Schuettpelz & Pryer.[1] A more recent treatment (Christenhusz et al., 2011)[2] includes this group as a subfamily of the Dryopteridaceae named Elaphoglossoideae (Pic.Serm.) Crabbe, Jermy & Mickel 1975.
