'''''Cyathea''''' is a genus of tree ferns, the type genus of the fern order Cyatheales.
The genus name ''Cyathea'' is derived from the Greek {{lang|el|kyatheion}}, meaning "little cup", and refers to the cup-shaped sori on the underside of the fronds.
==Description== The species of ''Cyathea'' are mostly terrestrial ferns, usually with a single tall stem. Rarely, the trunk may be branched or creeping. Many species also develop a fibrous mass of roots at the base of the trunk.{{citation needed|date=June 2025}}
The genus has a pantropical distribution, with over 470 species. They grow in habitats ranging from tropical rain forests to temperate woodlands.{{citation needed|date=June 2025}}
==Classification== Conant ''et al.'' in 1996, concluded on molecular cpDNA and morphological evidence that a system of three clades – ''Alsophila'', ''Cyathea'' and ''Sphaeropteris'' was the most accurate reflection of evolutionary lineages within the Cyatheaceae, ''Alsophila'' being the most basal and ''Cyathea'' and ''Sphaeropteris'' derived sister groups.<ref name="Conant1996">{{cite book|last1=Conant|first1=D.S.|last2=Raubeson|first2=L.A.|last3=Attwood|first3=D.K.|last4=Perera|first4=S.|last5=Zimmer|first5=E.A.|last6=Sweere|first6=J.A.|last7=Stein|first7=D.B.|chapter=Phylogenetic and evolutionary implications of combined analysis of DNA and morphology in the Cyatheaceae|date=1996|editor-last1=Camus|editor-first1=J.M.|editor-last2=Gibby|editor-first2=M.|editor-last3=Johns|editor-first3=R.J.|title=Pteridology in perspective|publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens|location=Kew, U.K.|pages=231–248|isbn=9781900347099}}</ref> In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), these are accepted as separate genera, ''Alsophila'', ''Cyathea'' and ''Sphaeropteris''.<ref name=PPGI/> '''''Cnemidaria''''' <small>Presl, 1836</small> is a junior synonym or redundant subset.<ref>Braggins, John E. and Large, Mark F.
