Xing Fuwu (邢福武)[1], Wang Faguo (王发国)1; Masahiro Kato[2]
Ferns, small, epiphytic or lithophytic. Rhizome slender, long-creeping, with ca. 2 vascular bundles, densely covered by long rufous linear hairs and long and narrow linear scales at apex. Fronds distant; stipe stramineous, slender, densely covered with similar hairs, with one terete vascular bundle; lamina bipinnatifid, lanceolate, papery, both surfaces densely covered with brown nodose hairs, densely ciliate at margin; segment nearly ligulate, entire or subentire, apex obtuse; veins free, with one veinlet per lobe, ending inframarginally. Sori linear-oblong, along veins, exindusiate; sporangia shortly stalked, annulus consisting of 14(–16) thickly walled cells; spores reniform, bilateral, transparent, smooth-surfaced, perispore thin.
Only one genus: distributed in east and northeast Asia.
[omit family description and distribution above if genus treated in Polypodiaceae for FOC]
In a recent classification using molecular data, Pleurosoriopsis is assigned to the Polypodiaceae (Smith et al. 2006. Taxon 55: 705–731)
