Marattia is a small genus of primitive large fleshy eusporangiate ferns. It is the type genus of the family Marattiaceae Order Marattiales and Class Marattiopsida. Formerly considered to be a much larger genus genetic analysis has shown that Marattia in the broad sense was paraphyletic and subsequently the genera Ptisana and Eupodium were split off.
