As our ability to infer evolutionary trees has improved, classifications aimed at recognizing natural groups have become increasingly predictive and stable. Here, we provide a modern, comprehensive classification for lycophytes and ferns, down to the genus level, utilizing a community-based approach. We use monophyly as the primary criterion for the recognition of taxa, but also aim to preserve existing taxa and circumscriptions that are both widely accepted and consistent with our understanding of pteridophyte phylogeny. In total, this classification treats an estimated 11 916 species in 337 genera, 51 families, 14 orders, and two classes. This classification is not intended as the final word on lycophyte and fern taxonomy, but rather a summary statement of current hypotheses, derived from the best available data and shaped by those most familiar with the plants in question. We hope that it will serve as a resource for those wanting references to the recent literature on pteridophyte phylogeny and classification, a framework for guiding future investigations, and a stimulus to further discourse.

Previous phylogenetic analyses of chloroplast loci determined that A. alleniae was most closely related to A. pauperequitum from New Zealand. Asplenium alleniae differs from A. pauperequitum most obviously by the acuminate apices of its longer pinnae. The combination of pinnate fronds with few pairs of primary pinnae and dark red-brown axes distinguishes A. alleniae from superficially similar species of Asplenium in Malesia. Asplenium alleniae is provisionally assessed as Endangered.

Seventeen species are reported as fully Naturalised and 209 species are considered to be new records of Casual plants.

The genus has some characteristics of Prosaptia – dorsiventral rhizomes with stipes articulated to phyllopodia and ciliate rhizome scales, but the rhizome scales are concolorous, rather than clathrate, as in Prosaptia. It also has setose sporangia, with simple eglandular hairs at the apex adjacent to the annulus, a character seen in Oreogrammitis and Radiogrammitis, but not in Prosaptia. New combinations are made for A. demissa (Parris) Parris, A. friderici-et-pauli(Christ) Parris, A. marquesensis(Parris) Parris, A. ponapensis (Copel.) Parris, A. samoensis (Baker) Parris and A. tahitensis (C.Chr.) Parris.

The Flora Malesiana account of the group is 75% complete (280 species). The genera are illustrated and briefly described. Current studies involve working through species that have long been herbarium dumping grounds containing numerous undescribed species, such as Calymmodon cucullatus (Nees & Blume) C.Presl, Prosaptia contigua (G.Forst.) C.Presl, Radiogrammitis hirtella (Blume) Parris (as Grammitis hirtella) and Tomophyllum subfalcatum (Blume) Parris (as Ctenopteris subfalcata).

(Polypodiaceae: Polypodiopsida). The species have previously been included in Radiogrammitis Parris and Themelium (T.Moore) Parris. Lectotypes are chosen for Polypodium allocotum Alderw., P. ctenoideum Brause, P. flagelliforme Brause, P. loherianum Christ, P. subpinnatifidum Blume and P. yoderi var. denudatum Alderw.

Borneo and New Guinea are the two richest areas, with an estimated 1000 and 2000 species respectively; the difference in number is probably due to the much greater area of land at high altitudes in the latter. Aspects of geographical and ecological speciation in the genus Grammitis within New Guinea are discussed, and the means by which such speciation may have been promoted are outlined.
