La familia está constituida por cinco géneros y aproximadamente 600 especies. Las Cyatheaceae se consideran relacionadas con Lophosoriaceae, Dicksoniaceae y Thelypteridaceae. Se distribuye en América caliente y en el paleotrópico. En México se encuentran tres géneros, Alsophila, Cyathea y Sphaeropteris, de los cuales uno está representado en la zona de

A molecular phylogeny of scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae)†
Tree ferns recently were identified as the closest sister group to the hyperdiverse clade of ferns, the polypods. Although most of the 600 species of tree ferns are arborescent, the group encompasses a wide range of morphological variability, from diminutive members to the giant scaly tree ferns, Cyatheaceae.

An exchange of views on the Cyatheaceae
When Dr. R.E. Holttum kindly submitted the following essay review of two papers on Cyatheaceae, a suggestion that Dr. R.M. Tryon be enabled to reply was welcomed by both pteridologists. The editor feels grateful to them for their contribution. First Dr. R.E. Holttum: GASTONY, G.J. Spore morphology in the Cyatheaceae. I.

Genomics is modifying our concepts of evolution in homosporous and heterosporous vascular plants. [PDF]
Abstract Across the tree of life, and particularly within land plants, there is a wide diversity and disparity of genome structure. The most well‐studied are angiosperms, comprising mostly small and dynamic genomes, with a history of ancient whole genome duplications.

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary in western North America. [PDF]
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.
