A complete, synonymic checklist of the Ferns and Lycophytes of the World


CAUTION: Because two families were added, the families Desmophlebiaceae and Hemidictyaceae (with together 3 species) are not displayed in "World Ferns" any more. We are asap fixing this. In the meantime consult the main list if you need those families.
