TL;DR: A taxonomic revision of marattioid ferns is presented here, and species-level detail is given for Marattia s.l.str.
Abstract: Recent phylogenetic investigations of marattioid ferns (Marattiaceae) have generated a refined understanding of genus- and species-level relationships within the family. A taxonomic revision of marattioid ferns is presented here. This new taxonomy is congruent with the current understanding of the phylogeny ofmarattioid ferns based on both molecular and morphological data. Marattiaceae is recognized here in the broad and most commonly used sense, encompassing all extant genera. Marattia as traditionally defined is paraphyletic, and is split here into three morphologically distinct and monophyletic genera: Marattia s.str. is restricted to the Neotropics and Hawaii; Eupodium, a distinctive Neotropical genus that has not been recognized by recent authors, is resurrected; and a newly described genus Ptisana comprises the Paleotropical species. Angiopteris is circumscribed broadly to include Archangiopteris, Macroglossum, Protomarattia, and Protangiopteris. Neither Danaea nor Christensenia require changes to their circumscriptions. As Marattia s.l. is undergoing the most drastic change in this taxonomy, species-level detail is given for Marattia s.str. and the segregated genera Eupodium and Ptisana. New combinations are made in Eupodium and Ptisana. Considerable monographic work still remains to be done, and is of particular importance given the threatened status of many presently poorly understood species in this family.

TL;DR: A parsimony‐based total‐evidence dating approach was applied, which suggested a Triassic age for the extant crown group of marattialean ferns and resolved the fossil genera Marattiopsis, Danaeopsis and Qasimia as members of the monophyletic family Marattiaceae.

TL;DR: This paper revises the taxonomy of the genus Eupodium, making one new combination is made and a key, descriptions and a distribution map are provided.
Abstract: Previous studies on the classification of Marattiaceae have shown that the Neotropical species of Marattia are to be divided into two genera: Marattia Sw. and Eupodium J. Sm. Morphological studies show that the latter genus consists of three geographically isolated species: Eupodium laevis in the Greater Antilles, E. pittieri in Central America and Andean South America, and E. kaulfussii in southern Brazil. This paper revises the taxonomy of the genus Eupodium. One new combination is made and a key, descriptions and a distribution map are provided.

TL;DR: The Marattiaceae is a phylogenetically isolated family of eusporangiate ferns in Bolivia, where it is represented by five species in the genus Danaea and a single species of Eupodium.
Abstract: The Marattiaceae is a phylogenetically isolated family of eusporangiate ferns. Here we provide a synopsis to the family in Bolivia, where it is represented by five species in the genus Danaea and a single species of Eupodium .

TL;DR: With a long fossil history, the Marattiaceae are among the earliest lineages of vascular land plants and are an important link to understanding land plant evolution.
Abstract: With a long fossil history (Taylor, Taylor & Krings 2009), Marattiaceae are among the earliest lineages of vascular land plants and are an important link to understanding land plant evolution. The family currently has a pantropical distribution, but was more widely distributed in the past. In the neotropics the family is represented by the genera Marattia Swartz (1788: 128), Eupodium Smith (1841: 190) and Danaea Smith (1793: 420). An additional three genera are found in the paleotropics and in total the family has an estimated 135 known species (Christenhusz & Byng 2016).
