Genus of ferns

Brainea Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Embryophytes Clade: Tracheophytes Division: Polypodiophyta Class: Polypodiopsida Order: Polypodiales Suborder: Aspleniineae Family: Blechnaceae Genus: Brainea J.Sm.[1] Species: B. insignis Binomial name Brainea insignis (Hook.) J.Sm.[1]

***Brainea*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of [ferns](/source/Fern) in the family [Blechnaceae](/source/Blechnaceae), subfamily Blechnoideae, with a single species ***Brainea insignis***, according to the [Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group](/source/Pteridophyte_Phylogeny_Group) classification of 2016 (PPG I).[1] The genus is accepted in a 2016 classification of the family Blechnaceae,[2] but other sources sink it into a very broadly defined *Blechnum*, equivalent to the whole of the PPG I subfamily.[3]
