The genus Nephrolepis has been placed under the families Davalliaceae and Oleandraceae previously [1]. More recently, it was placed under the family Lomariopsidaceae [2]. There is still no agreement on which family this genus should belongs [1]. I have kept it in the family Nephrolepidaceae for now.
