Taxonomy

A molecular phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that Neocheiropteris was one of a group of closely related genera in the subfamily Microsoroideae, a group the authors termed "Lepisorus sensu lato". It species were embedded in a clade in which none of the genera appeared to be monophyletic:[3]

Species

As of February 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species, while noting that the distinction from Neolepisorus was not clear:[1]

  • Neocheiropteris ensata (Thunb.) Ching
  • Neocheiropteris ovata (Wall. ex Hook. & Grev.) Fraser-Jenk.
  • Neocheiropteris palmatopedata (Baker) Christ
  • Neocheiropteris triglossa (Baker) Ching

Plants of the World Online submerges Neolepisorus into Neocheiropteris,[4] although placing some species that the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepts in Neolepisorus in Microsorum.[5]
