southeastern Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Some species are widely
cultivated and naturalized in other tropical and subtropical regions.
Hard Fern (Blechnum)
Blechnum, known as hard fern, is a genus of ferns in the family Blechnaceae, subfamily
Blechnoideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). Two very
different circumscriptions of the genus are used by different authors. In the PPG I system, based on
Gasper et al. (2016), Blechnum is one of 18 genera in the subfamily Blechnoideae, and has about 30
species. Other sources use a very broadly defined Blechnum s.l., including accepting only two other
genera in the subfamily. The genus then has about 250 species. In the PPG I circumscription, the
genus is mostly neotropical, with a few southern African species.
