Species

In the circumscription used in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the genus contains five species.[1][2] The Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World places three of these species in the genus Spicantopsis.[3]

  • Struthiopteris amabilis (Makino) Ching (syn. Blechnum amabile Makino) = Spicantopsis amabilis (Makino) Nakai
  • Struthiopteris castanea (Makino & Nemoto) Nakai (syns Lomaria castanea Makino, Blechnum castaneum Makino & Nemoto)
  • Struthiopteris fallax (Lange) S.Molino, Gabriel y Galán & Wasowicz
  • Struthiopteris hancockii (Hance) Tagawa (syn. Blechnum hancockii Hance) = Spicantopsis hancockii (Hance) Masam.
  • Struthiopteris niponica (Kunze) Nakai (syns Lomaria niponica Kunze, Blechnum niponicum Makino) = Spicantopsis niponica (Kunze) Nakai
  • Struthiopteris spicant (L.) F.W.Weiss (syns Osmunda spicant L., Blechnum spicant (L.) Sm.)
