Below are lists of extant fern families and subfamilies using the classification scheme proposed by the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group in 2016 (PPG I). [1] The scheme is based on molecular phylogenetic studies, and also draws on earlier classifications, [1] particularly those by Smith et al. (2006), [2] Chase and Reveal (2009), [3] and Christenhusz et al. (2011). [4]
Outside this area, unless spread naturally it is considered non-native, usually as a result of cultivation. Britain and Ireland have few endemic trees, most being micro-species of Whitebeam. But there are some interesting endemic trees nevertheless. Apomictic Whitebeams endemic to the British Isles: Sorbus arranensis – Isle of Arran only.

The text was a scientific description of all the varieties of ferns found in the British Isles. The author of this work was the botanist Thomas Moore , the editor was John Lindley . The book was released at a time of so-called " pteridomania " in Britain. [ 1 ]
