Llavea
''Llavea'' is a monotypic genus of fern in the family Pteridaceae. The sole species is ''Llavea cordifolia''. It is often cultivated as an ornamental foliage plant. The genus was named in honour of Pablo de La Llave, a Mexican naturalist. Recent cladistic studies have shown that this genus forms a natural group with '' Cryptogramma'' and ''Coniogramme'', a group that is sister to all the other pteridoid ferns. This group has been published as the Cryptogrammoideae, one of five subfamilies of the Pteridaceae Pteridaceae is a family of ferns in the order Polypodiales, including some 1150 known species in ca 45 genera (depending on taxonomic opinions), divided over five subfamilies.

Pteridaceae
Pteridaceae is a family of ferns in the order Polypodiales, including some 1150 known species in ca 45 genera (depending on taxonomic opinions), divided over five subfamilies. The family includes four groups of genera that are sometimes recognized as separate families: the adiantoid, cheilanthoid, pteridoid, and hemionitidoid ferns. Relationships among these groups remain unclear, and although some recent genetic analyses of the Pteridales suggest that neither the family Pteridaceae nor the major groups within it are all monophyletic, as yet these analyses are insufficiently comprehensive and robust to provide good support for a revision of the order at the family level. Description Members of Pteridaceae have creeping or erect rhizomes. The leaves are almost always compound and have linear sori that are typically on the margins of the leaves and lack a true indusium, typically being protected by a false indusium formed from the reflexed margin of the leaf.

Cryptogrammoideae
Cryptogrammoideae is a subfamily of ferns in the family Pteridaceae. The subfamily contains three genera and about 23 species. Taxonomy In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), Cryptogrammoideae is one of the five subfamilies of the family Pteridaceae. Although the subfamily Cryptogrammoideae is similar to the family Cryptogrammaceae proposed by Pichi Sermolli in 1963, that group contained the morphologically similar genus '' Onychium'' (now in the subfamily Pteridoideae) instead of the less morphologically similar genus ''Coniogramme ''Coniogramme'' is one of three genera in the subfamily Cryptogrammoideae of the fern family Pteridaceae. A cultivated species, '' Coniogramme pilosa'', is known as "bamboo fern." Species *'' Coniogramme affinis'' ( C. Presl) Wall. ex Hieron ...''. In 2006, Smith ''et al.'' included Cryptogrammaceae as part of the family Pteridaceae, and in 2011, Christenhusz ''et al.'' listed its three genera in Cryptogrammoideae, ...

Pablo De La Llave
Dr. Pablo de la Llave (1773–1833) was a Mexican Roman Catholic, Catholic Priest#Catholic .26 Orthodox, priest, politician, and natural history, naturalist. He was born to a wealthy family and grew up in Córdoba, Veracruz. After a brilliant university career, he became a teacher in the national college of St. John Lateran and doctor of theology at what was then the National Autonomous University of Mexico, University of Mexico. He was a famous preacher and made some translations from Hebrew language, Hebrew. He went to Europe and lived for some time in Paris. After this he became deputy director of the Madrid Museum of Natural History under the Bonapartist kingdom. In 1811 and 1812 he assisted José Mariano Mociño in organizing the collections of the Nueva España Expedition (1787–1803) to survey the natural history of Mexico. In 1820 and 1821 he represented the state of Veracruz (state), Veracruz in the Cortes Generales, Spanish legislature, where he was a Liberali ...

Mariano Lagasca
Mariano Lagasca y Segura (1776–1839), also known as Mariano la Gasca, was a Spanish botanist, writer and doctor. He was the director of the ''Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid'' (Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid). Early life Mariano Lagasca y Segura was born in Encinacorba, Province of Zaragoza, in Spain on 4 October 1776 to a wealthy Catholic family. He studied at the local elementary school and, afterwards, he continued his ecclesiastical studies in Tarragona. During his studies in Tarragona, he developed an interest for medicine and botany. After finishing his studies in Tarragona, he started travelling until eventually studying medicine at first in Zaragoza, and later in Valencia and Madrid. Career In 1800, he moved to Madrid where he met Antonio José Cavanilles, a well-known botanist and doctor and became his disciple. In Madrid, he cooperated in various fields José Demetrio Rodriguez, and co-published with him a botanical book titled Description of certain pl ...

Monotypic Taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda ...

Cryptogramma
''Cryptogramma'' is a genus of ferns known commonly as rockbrakes or parsley ferns. They are one of the three genera in the Cryptogrammoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae. ''Cryptogramma'' ferns can be found in temperate regions on several continents worldwide. These ferns have two kinds of leaves which often look so different that at first glance they appear to belong to different plants. The fertile leaves have long, narrow, bumpy segments with undersides covered thickly in sporangia. The edges of the segments may curl back to cover the sporangia, forming a false indusium. The sterile leaves have thinner, wider segments which may be rounded and resemble the leaves of parsley. These ferns grow in rocky areas, often in crevices and cracks. Distribution In North America, species within this genus are distributed over western and northern United States, Northwestern Mexico, and Canada.
