*Drynaria (Bory) J. Smith.
A genus of about 50 species, perennial ferns, of tropical Asia. "Recent phylogenetic research on these genera [Aglaomorpha, Christiopteris, Drynaria] has shown that both Aglaomorpha and Christiopteris are nested within a paraphyletic Drynaria (Janssen & Schneider, 2005; Schneider et al., 2008) which led Christenhusz & Schneider (2012) to propose the conservation of Drynaria against Aglaomorpha. After two rounds of voting no consensus could be reached as to whether to conserve or reject this proposal (Applequist, 2014). Despite this, Christenhusz (2015) made combinations in Drynaria for all species in the clade which did not already have names in the genus." (Lindsay, Hovenkamp, & Middleton 2017). Lindsay, Hovenkamp, & Middleton (2017) argued that the name to use for the combined genus is Aglaomorpha, since the standard rules of priority were not over-ruled in this case. PPGII [in prep.] has voted to use Drynaria for the combined genus.

- Please include your name and if possible, email in case when need to clarify what you wrote.
- If you opt out of including email, please be as specific as possible (e.g., which photo is incorrect?)
- Please do not submit questions asking to identify plants or about horticultural topics (e.g., how do I control an invasive plant in my garden?). Instead, those questions can be submitted here for the Carolinas region only.
- Please do not send us feedback about unkeyed species as this work is ongoing.
- Please allow time for flora edits to show in our next data release. We greatly appreciate your feedback but may require extra time to research complicated taxonomic issues.
