1 Veins anastomosing; rhizomes generally erect or decumbent .......................................................................................................... 2

– Veins free; rhizomes creeping .......................................................................................................................................................... 3

2 Blades pinnatifid, the rachises winged their length; sori exindusiate, in 4–8 rather irregular series between main lateral veins; sori small, mostly 0.5–0.8 mm diameter; crushed herbage with a strong almond scent ................................................... Draconopteris

– Blades 1-pinnate or more divided, rachises not winged, or only distally winged; sori indusiate, in 2–6 regular to irregular series between the main lateral veins; crushed herbage without a strong almond scent ................................................................ Tectaria

3 Blades simple or 1- to 3-pinnatifid, not fully pinnate at any level of dissection ............................................................. Hypoderris

– Blades fully pinnate at finer levels of dissection, ultimate segments may be adnate ................................................. Triplophyllum
