Cyrtomium falcatum Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Pteridophyta Class: Pteridopsida Order: Polypodiales Family: Dryopteridaceae Genus: Cyrtomium C.Presl Species See text.
Cyrtomium is a genus of about 15-20 species of ferns in the family Dryopteridaceae, native to Asia, Africa (including Madagascar), and the Pacific Ocean islands (Hawaii). The genus is very closely related to the genus Polystichum, with recent research suggesting it should be included within it (Little & Barrington).
