型態特徵

Terrestrial ferns, a few growing in crevices of rocks; rhizomes creeping or suberect; rhizome and stipe scales usually long and brown, narrowly linear. Fronds pinnate to decompound; stipes usually with a ring of vascular bundles (with only 2 bundles in Quercifilix), stipes and rachis grooved, the rachis grooves not open to rachilla grooves; upper side with ctenitis hairs along rachis, rachillae and costae in nearly all taxa; veins anastomosing in most genera, with at least one row of costal areolae, the areolae often with included veinlets, some genera with free venation. Sori usually round, dorsal on veinlets, on a plexus of veinlets, or terminal on a veinlet within an areola; in two genera (Hemigramma and Quercifilix) the sporangia follow the veins, becoming acrostichoid; indusia usually present, sometimes fugacious, round-reniform.

屬

型態特徵

A small family of mostly tropical ferns; rhizomes scandent, or long-creeping, scaly, fronds distant, articulate to phyllopodia; or the caudex short, erect, sending out a mass of fibrous roots and long, slender stolons (rhizomes), stipes tufted, stout, non-articulate. Fronds simple or pinnate; pinnae articulate to rachis, often caducous; venation free, once or twice forked. Sori round, dorsal or submarginal, borne on the end of a veinlet; indusia round or reniform, sinus usually narrow.
