Family
Cyatheaceae Kaulf.; Wesen Farrenkr. 119 (1827)
4 genera, ca. 700 spp. Recent monographs tended to lump everything in Cyathea s. lat., but PPG-I separates again the 3 genera, and Dong et al. (2018) additionally reinstate Gymnosphaera, followed by Loiseau et al. 2019.

Genus
Sphaeropteris Bernh.; J. Bot. (Schrader) 1800(2): 122 (1801)
Distribution: Mostly tropical Old World, very few tropical America. The genus is frequently included in Cyathea s. lat., but PPG-I separates it again. See also Korall et al. (2007 and 2013).
