Rhachidosorus

Rhachidosorus is a genus of ferns in the order Polypodiales.[2] It is the only genus in the family Rhachidosoraceae in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[3] Alternatively, the genus may be placed in the subfamily Rhachidosoroideae of a more broadly defined family Aspleniaceae,[1] the family placement used in Plants of the World Online as of November 2019.[4]

  • Rhachidosorus consimilis Ching – China (Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan)
  • Rhachidosorus mesosorus (Makino) Ching – China, Japan, South Korea
  • Rhachidosorus pulcher (Tagawa) Ching – Taiwan, Yunnan
  • Rhachidosorus siamensis S.Linds.
  • Rhachidosorus stramineus (Copel.) Ching
  • Rhachidosorus truncatus Ching – China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan)

Phylogenic relationships

The following diagram for the eupolypods II, based on Lehtonen, 2011,[6] and Rothfels & al., 2012,[7] shows a likely phylogenic relationship between the Rhachidosoraceae and the other families of the eupolypods II clade.
