*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.
