Leptopteris Superba
''Leptopteris superba'', commonly called Prince of Wales feathers or common crape fern, is a fern in the genus ''Leptopteris''. It is considered endemic to New Zealand at North Island: Northland, Auckland, Volcanic Plateau, Gisborne, Taranaki, Southern North Island. South Island: Western Nelson, Sounds-Nelson, Westland, Canterbury, Otago, Southland Fiordland. Stewart Island. Altitudinal range: 0–1600 m. ''Leptopteris superba'' has a predominantly southern distribution, occurring from Mt. Te Aroha southwards, apart from an isolated record (Rawlings 1972) from c. 700 m in Waipoua Forest (CHR 191223) and a 19th-century collection by E.M. Smith from Little Barrier Island (AK 119092). In the North Island it is common in montane forest from Te Aroha to Wellington, occurring from about 250 m up to 1400 m on Maungapōhatu in the Urewera Ranges. In the South Island it is abundant in wet forest on the west side of the Main Divide, in the Marlborough Sounds, and around Dunedin an ...

Osmundales
Osmundaceae (royal fern family) is a family of ferns containing four to six extant genera and 18–25 known species. It is the only living family of the order Osmundales in the class Polypodiopsida (ferns) or in some classifications the only order in the class Osmundopsida. This is an ancient (known from the Upper Permian) and fairly isolated group that is often known as the "flowering ferns" because of the striking aspect of the ripe sporangia in ''Claytosmunda'', ''Osmunda'', ''Osmundastrum'', and ''Plensium'' (subtribe Osmundinae). In these genera the sporangia are borne naked on non-laminar pinnules, while ''Todea'' and ''Leptopteris'' (subtribe Todinae) bear sporangia naked on laminar pinnules. Ferns in this family are larger than most other ferns. Description The stems of Osmundaceae contain vascular tissue arranged as an ectophloic siphonostele; that is, a ring of phloem occurs on the outside only of a ring of xylem, which surrounds pith (and no other vascular tissue).

Leptopteris Fraseri
''Leptopteris fraseri'', commonly known as the crepe fern, is a species of plant occurring in eastern Australia. Its habitat is wet places, mostly on the Great Dividing Range. It is found in caves, near waterfalls, in dark shady places in the cooler rainforests. Description A fern with a trunk to one metre high, with one or more crowns. The arching fronds may be one metre long, on a stipe between 20 and . The stem may be glaucous. Small reddish-brown hairs may also be seen. Fronds are relatively thin, between and wide. Mature sporangia A sporangium (; from Late Latin, ) is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. Virtually all plants, fungi, and many other lineages form sporangia at some point in their life cyc ... are found under the fronds in irregular patterns, brownish-orange in colour.

Leptopteris Hymenophylloides
''Leptopteris hymenophylloides'', which is commonly called single crepe fern is a fern in the family Osmundaceae.

Leptopteris Moorei
'' Leptopteris moorei '' is a fern in the family Osmundaceae. The specific epithet honours Charles Moore, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney from 1849 to 1896, who collected plants on Lord Howe Island in 1869. Description The fern has a 20–30 cm high trunk. Its 2- or 3-pinnatifid fronds are 0.5–1 m long and 30–45 cm wide. Distribution and habitat The fern is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea; it only occurs on the summit of Mount Gower Mount Gower (also known as Big Hill), is the highest mountain on Australia's subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. With a height of above sea level, and a relatively flat summit plateau, it stands at the southern end of Lord Howe, jus ... at the southern end of the island.

Todea
The fern genus ''Todea'' is known from only two living species. ''Todea barbara'' L., known as the king fern, is native to South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia while ''Todea papuana'' H. is known only from Papua New Guinea. Species in the genus ''Todea'', as ''Leptopteris'', are distinct from other in Osmundaceae in that sporangia are born on laminar pinnules. So far the fossil record of the genus ''Todea'' consists only of the permineralized rhizome ''Todea tidwellii'' from the Lower Cretaceous of Vancouver Island, Canada and the species ''Todea amissa'', known from the Eocene of Patagonia, Argentina Argentina (), officially the Argentine Republic ( es, link=no, República Argentina), is a country in the southern half of South America.
