*Thelypteridaceae - Female Fern FamilyAthyriales is one of the largest orders of
fern , including not onlytropical species but many of thetemperate ones as well. The classification as shown here is strongly supported by genetic evidence. The Athyriaceae and the Blechnaceae are especially close, as are the Onocleaceae and Woodsiaceae.This order includes some important ferns, including the
Sensitive fern , "Onoclea sensibilis", which grows as a virtual weed throughout much of its temperateNorth America n range, and ferns of the genus "Thelypteris ", a genus that has shown remarkable speciation. It also includes one of the more common horticultural ferns, theOstrich fern , "Matteuccia struthiopteris".Some authors include the Athyriales in a more broadly defined
Polypodiales . [A. R. Smith, K. M. Pryer, E. Schuettpelz, P. Korall, H. Schneider, P. G. Wolf. 2006. "A classification for extant ferns". "Taxon" 55(3), 705-731 (pdf [http://www.pryerlab.net/publication/fichier749.pdf here] )]References
