Diplazium is a genus of the cliff fern family that specifically includes the approximately 400 known species of twinsorus ferns. The Greek root is diplazein meaning double: the indusia in this genus lie on both sides of the vein. These ferns were earlier considered part of either the Athyriaceae Dryopteridaceae Aspleniaceae or Polypodiaceae families but are often recognized as belonging to their own taxonomic family.
