    Taxonomy

    Neolepisorus was first described by Ren-Chang Ching in 1940.[1] A molecular phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that Neolepisorus 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:[1]

    • Neolepisorus fortunei (T.Moore) Li Wang
    • Neolepisorus pappei (Mett. ex Kuhn) Li Wang
    • Neolepisorus zippelii (Blume) Li Wang

    As of February 2020, Plants of the World Online did not accept the genus, sinking it into Neocheiropteris,[4] although placing some of its species in Microsorum.[5]
