Lecanopteris Spinosa
''Lecanopteris'' is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). They have swollen hollow rhizomes that provide homes for symbiotic ants. All are epiphytic plants that naturally occur from Southeast Asia to New Guinea. Several species are in commerce, being grown as houseplants and greenhouse curiosities. Taxonomy Phylogeny The monophyletic genus ''Lecanopteris'' has been divided into two sub-genera, ''Lecanopteris'' and ''Myrmecopteris''. All the species have rhizomes associated with ants. Subgenus ''Lecanopteris'' was monophyletic, and ''Myrmecopteris'' was paraphyletic. A 2019 molecular phylogenetic study suggested that the genus was related to three other clades, treated as genera, related as shown in the following cladogram. , the ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' recognizes the segregate genera; other sources do not.

Zealandia (plant)
''Zealandia'' is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, erected in 2019. , the genus was not accepted by some sources. Taxonomy The division of the subfamily Microsoroideae into genera has long been uncertain. A 2019 molecular phylogenetic study suggested that there were three clades close to ''Lecanopteris'' sensu stricto and distinct from other clades in the subfamily. The authors of the study preferred to set up three extra monophyletic genera, rather than use a broader circumscription of ''Lecanopteris''. The genera are related as shown in the following cladogram. , the ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' recognized the segregate genera, including ''Zealandia''; other sources did not. Species , the ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' recognized the following species: *'' Zealandia novae-zealandiae'' (Baker) Testo & A.R.Field *'' Zealandia powellii'' (Baker) Testo & A.R.Field *''Zealandia pustulata ''Zealan ...

Lecanopteris Sinuosa
''Lecanopteris sinuosa'' is a fern that belongs to the fern genus ''Lecanopteris''. This epiphytic plant has a mutualistic relationship with stingless shelter ants, which makes it a myrmecophyte. The ant species associated with ''L. sinuosa'' belong within the genera '' Crematogaster'', ''Technomyrmex'' or ''Iridomyrmex''. The ants rear their larvae within the rhizome for protection, and in turn, ''L. sinuosa'' receives nutritional benefit from feces and other debris left behind by the plants. It is also suggested that ''L. sinuosa'' benefits from increased protection from herbivory and increased spore dispersal. ''Lecanopteris sinuosa'' belongs in the subgenus ''Myrmecopteris'' (comprising four species total), which is characterized by ferns that have peltate scales and sori that are deeply immersed on the pinnae. Rhizome morphology The unique rhizome structure of ''L. sinuosa'' allows it to maintain a mutualistic relationship with ants. As the plant is young, the rhizo ...

Lecanopteris Mirabilis
''Lecanopteris mirabilis'' is a species of tropical fern in the genus ''Lecanopteris'' native to Papua New Guinea and Sulawesi. An epiphyte, its name means "wonderful" or "marvelous". Like others of its genus, it grows from a large rhizome that in this case can be up to in diameter. This rhizome forms a shelter for ants, making this a myrmecophyte Myrmecophytes (; literally "ant-plant") are plants that live in a mutualistic association with a colony of ants. There are over 100 different genera of myrmecophytes. These plants possess structural adaptations that provide ants with food and/o ..., though unlike others of its genus the rhizome is flattened and doesn't contain hollow galleries. Individual fronds may be up to long. References mirabilis Plants described in 1929 Plants described in 1825 Plants described in 1920 {{Polypodiaceae-stub ...
