PTERIDOPHYTA
2012. A recent paper by Christenhusz et al (and corrections) sets out a linear sequence of extant families and genera of lycophytes and ferns, based on current phylogenetic knowledge. We have not yet adopted their generic and familial changes in our plant lists, but the Flora of China volume currently being compiled will use these familial parameters.
Changes relevant to our plant lists are as follows:
ATHYRIACEAE
Athyrium (ex-Woodsiaceae)
CYSTOPTERIDACEAE
Cystopteris (ex-Woodsiaceae)
Gymnocarpium (ex-Dryopteridaceae)
NEPHROLEPIDACEAE
Nephrolepis (ex-Oleandraceae)
ONOCLEACEAE
