Treatment

Subfamily 48d. Microsoroideae B.K.Nayar View in CoL , Taxon 19: 233 (1970), as ‘ Microsorioideae ’.

Lepisoroideae Ching, Acta Phytotax. Sin. 16: 17 (1978), as ‘ Lepisorioideae ’.

( Dendroconche , Goniophlebium View in CoL , Kaulinia , Kontumia , Lecanopteris View in CoL , Lemmaphyllum , Lepisorus View in CoL , Lepidomicrosorium , Leptochilus View in CoL , Microsorum View in CoL , Neocheiropteris , Neolepisorus, Paragramma , Phymatosorus , Podosorus View in CoL , Thylacopteris View in CoL , Tricholepidium ).

Note:—The status of several genera of this group is controversial ( Kreier et al. 2008). The genus Microsorum is polyphyletic and will need to be separated into natural genera in the future. The monotypic genus Kontumia is tentatively assigned to the microsoroid ferns and not to the selligueoid ferns as suggested by Wu et al. (2005). This assignment is based on observations of the rhizome scales carried out by P. Hovenkamp (Leiden) who studied the type material. Currently, we are lacking DNA sequences to confirm its relationship.
