Cheilanthoideae
Subfamily of ferns / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cheilanthoideae is one of the five subfamilies of the fern family Pteridaceae.[1][2] The subfamily is understood to be monophyletic, but some of the genera as currently defined are not. Most species are xeric-adapted, and the subfamily is most diverse in dry areas.
