The order Cyatheales, which includes most tree ferns, is a taxonomic order of the fern class, Polypodiopsida. [2] No clear morphological features characterize all of the Cyatheales, but DNA sequence data indicate the order is monophyletic.

The Cyatheaceae are a family of ferns, the scaly tree ferns, one of eight families in the order Cyatheales in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). [1]

Tree fern, any of a group of relatively primitive ferns in the order Cyatheales, most of them characterized by ascending trunklike stems and an arborescent (treelike) habit. Tree ferns are conspicuous plants of humid tropical forests around the world.

Cyathea is a genus of tree ferns, the type genus of the fern order Cyatheales. The genus name Cyathea is derived from the Greek kyatheion, meaning "little cup", and refers to the cup-shaped sori on the underside of the fronds.

Dicksoniaceae, the tree fern family, containing about 3 genera and some 30 species, in the division Pteridophyta (the lower vascular plants). The family has a long and diverse fossil record extending back to the Triassic Period (251 million to 199.6 million years ago). Members of Dicksoniaceae are

The order Cyatheales, which includes the tree ferns, is a taxonomic division of the fern class, Polypodiopsida. No clear morphological features characterize all of the Cyatheales, but DNA sequence data indicate the order is monophyletic.

CYATHEALES — TREE FERNS. The Cyatheales are a group of over 700 species in eight families (Table 4.1). Stems may be arborescent or rhizomatous, bearing hairs or prominent scales. Sori are marginal or abaxial, indusiate or exindusiate. Spores are trilete, and gametophytes are green and cordate.

Cyatheaceae is a family of ferns in the order Cyatheales, which also includes families such as Dicksoniaceae and Culcitaceae. The Cyatheaceae family is further divided into four subfamilies: Alsophilarioideae, Cyatheoideae, Loxsomatoideae, and Sphaeropteridoideae.
