系统发育一直是蕨类植物分类的基础。随着我们推断进化树的能力的提高，旨在识别自然群体的分类变得越来越具有预测性和稳定性。在这里，我们提供了一个现代的，全面的分类石松和蕨类植物，到属的水平，利用社区为基础的方法。我们使用单系作为识别分类群的主要标准，但也旨在保护现有的分类群和circumstances都被广泛接受，并符合我们的理解蕨类植物的系统发育。总的来说，这个分类处理了估计11916种，337属，51科，14目，和两个纲。这种分类并不是石松和蕨类植物分类学的最后结论，而是对现有假设的总结，这些假设来自最好的可用数据，并由那些最熟悉所讨论的植物的人形成。我们希望，它将作为资源，为那些希望参考最近的文献蕨类植物的系统发育和分类，指导未来的调查框架，并刺激进一步的话语。
Phylogeny has long informed pteridophyte classification. As our ability to infer evolutionary trees has improved, classifications aimed at recognizing natural groups have become increasingly predictive and stable. Here, we provide a modern, comprehensive classification for lycophytes and ferns, down to the genus level, utilizing a community-based approach. We use monophyly as the primary criterion for the recognition of taxa, but also aim to preserve existing taxa and circumscriptions that are both widely accepted and consistent with our understanding of pteridophyte phylogeny. In total, this classification treats an estimated 11 916 species in 337 genera, 51 families, 14 orders, and two classes. This classification is not intended as the final word on lycophyte and fern taxonomy, but rather a summary statement of current hypotheses, derived from the best available data and shaped by those most familiar with the plants in question. We hope that it will serve as a resource for those wanting references to the recent literature on pteridophyte phylogeny and classification, a framework for guiding future investigations, and a stimulus to further discourse.
