Phegopteris is a genus of ferns known collectively as the Beech ferns. Traditionally this genus included only the first three species listed. However recent genetic evidence clearly shows that the genera Macrothelypteris and Pseudophegopteris as well as other segregates from the genus Thelypteris are closely related to Phegopteris in a single clade and so are now included as Phegopteris species.[citation needed]
