The family is represented by 6-7 living genera and about 100-214 spp. in the world flora. With a view to bringing out an illustrated manual on the systematics of the family Marattiaceae in India, the three living genera Angiopteris 1 spp. (3 spp. according to Nishida, 1966), Marattia 1 sp., and Christerisenia 1 sp. occurring m India have been dealt with. It shows that while Angiopteris is distributed throughout India, Marattia and Christensenia are restricted to the Southern and the Eastern India, respectively.

Abstract


The family is represented by 6-7 living genera and about 100-214 spp. in the world flora. With a view to bringing out an illustrated manual on the systematics of the family Marattiaceae in India, the three living genera Angiopteris 1 spp. (3 spp. according to Nishida, 1966), Marattia 1 sp., and Christerisenia 1 sp. occurring m India have been dealt with. It shows that while Angiopteris is distributed throughout India, Marattia and Christensenia are restricted to the Southern and the Eastern India, respectively.
