Schizaeales is an order of fern (class Pteridopsida). The ferns in this order were once all lumped into the family Schizaeaceae in the old order Filicales. However although they are demonstrably related these ferns differ markedly and so three groups have now been elevated to family status: The family Schizaeaceae are generally small ferns with forking fronds and a distinctive somewhat non-fern-like appearance.
