Oceaniopteris is a genus of ferns in the family Blechnaceae, subfamily Blechnoideae, according to the 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]

Species

As of July 2025, using the PPG I classification system, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepted the following eight species:[4]

  • Oceaniopteris cartilaginea (Sw.) Gasper & Salino
  • Oceaniopteris ciliata (T.Moore) Gasper & Salino
  • Oceaniopteris egregia (Copel.) Gasper & Salino
  • Oceaniopteris francii (Rosenst.) Gasper & Salino
  • Oceaniopteris gibba (Labill.) Gasper & Salino
  • Oceaniopteris obtusata (Labill.) Gasper & Salino
  • Oceaniopteris vittata (Brack.) Gasper & Salino
  • Oceaniopteris whelanii (F.M.Bailey) Gasper & Salino
