Arachniodes is a fern genus in the family Dryopteridaceae (wood ferns), subfamily Dryopteridoideae, in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[1] A number of species in this genus are known as "holly ferns".[2]

The genus Arachniodes was first published by Carl Ludwig von Blume in 1828, with the single Indonesian species Arachniodes aspidioides.[3] The genus was not widely recognized until Mary Douglas Tindale transferred the two species (Byrsopteris amabilis and Byrsopteris aristata) into it in 1961.[4]

Species

The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) considers Arachniodes to have 60 species.[1] As of January 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepted 78 species:[5]

Some hybrids were also accepted:[5]
