Parathelypteris
Also called Marsh Ferns, Female Fern, Marsh Fern, Wood Ferns, Maiden Ferns
Parathelypteris is a genus of ferns in the family Thelypteridaceae, sometimes merged into the much broader genus Thelypteris. Commonly grown members are shade-loving, moisture-loving ferns suited to woodland or damp garden spots.
Parathelypteris is a genus of ferns in the family Thelypteridaceae, subfamily Thelypteridoideae, in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). Other sources sink Parathelypteris into a very broadly defined genus Thelypteris.
