|discussion=<p>This difficult genus requires further systematic study. Estimates of species numbers have ranged from 9 (C. Christensen 1930) to 59 (Shing K. H. 1965). The group might better be considered a subgenus of <i>Polystichum</i>, from which it is poorly differentiated morphologically.</p><!--
