Didymochlaena is a genus of fern with only one species, Didymochlaena truncatula, also known under the synonym Didymochlaena sinuosa.^[1] In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), it is the only genus in the family Didymochlaenaceae.^[2] Alternatively, the family may be placed in a very broadly defined family Polypodiaceae sensu lato as the subfamily Didymochlaenoideae.^[3] It is commonly grown as a house plant, and is sometimes known as the mahogany maidenhair.^{[citation needed]}

Phylogeny[]

The following cladogram for the suborder Polypodiineae (eupolypods I), based on the consensus cladogram in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I),^[2] shows a likely phylogenetic relationship between Didymochlaenaceae and the other families of the clade.
