Polypodiidae (plant)

Polypodiidae is a subclass of Equisetopsida in the sense used by Mark W. Chase and James L. Reveal in their 2009 article "A phylogenetic classification of the land plants to accompany APG III."[1] This subclass comprises leptosporangiate ferns. It is equivalent to the class Polypodiopsida in previous treatments, including Smith et al., 2006.[2]
