Jim Croft, The Australian National Herbarium: A classification of the ferns and their allies - a work in progress. This classification of the genera of ferns and their allies is a loose, perhaps tenuous, concensus of a number of published systems, some of which are available on the web. It tries to reflect contemporary views on phylogenetic relationships and as such will change from time to time. Google Web Directory: Science > Biology > Botany > Plants > Ferns.
