Hemidictyaceae is a family of ferns in the order Polypodiales.[1] Its sole genus is Hemidictyum C.Presl 1836, commonly known as the marginated half net fern.[2] Hemidictyaceae is considered to be a sister family to Aspleniaceae, believed to have diverged during the Cretaceous period.[3][4]

The name Hemidictyum was derived from the terms hemi (half) and diktyon (net), from the veins being netted only half-way across the pinnules.[5]

Distribution

Hemidictyum is a native neotropical fern, found in Mexico, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, French Guiana, Suriname, Brazil, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.[2][6]
