Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Beech Fern Genus Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Pterophyta Class: Pteridpsida Order: Athyriales Family: Thelypteridaceae Genus: Phegopteris Species   Phegopteris connectilis   Phegopteris hexagonoptera   Phegopteris decursive-pinnata   Phegopteris aurita   Phegopteris torresiana Phegopteris as a genus traditionally includes only the first three species listed, known collectively as the beech ferns. However, recent genetic evidence clearly shows that the genera Macrothelypteris and Pseudophegopteris, other segregates from the genus Thelypteris, are closely related to Phegopteris in a closely-related clade, and so are here included as Phegopteris species.
