  Cyatheales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The order Cyatheales is a taxonomic division of the fern (Division Pteridophyta) subclass, Cyatheatae, which includes the Tree ferns.
However, the plants formally known as tree ferns compose a group of large ferns belonging to the families Dicksoniaceae and Cyatheaceae in the order Cyatheales.
The families that constitute Cyatheales have been relatively firmly established as a monophyletic clade by DNA sequencing and morphological studies.

The order Cyatheales is a taxonomic division of the fern ((Containing all the vascular plants that do not bear seeds: ferns, horsetails, club mosses, and whisk ferns; in some classifications considered a subdivision of Tracheophyta) Division Pteridophyta) subclass, Cyatheatae, which includes the Tree ferns.
Like all ferns, tree ferns reproduce by means of (A small usually single-celled reproductive body produced by many plants and some protozoans and that develops into a new individual) spores developed in (additional info and facts about sporangia) sporangia on the undersides of the fronds.
The families that constitute Cyatheales have been relatively firmly established as a monophyletic clade by ((biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information) DNA sequencing and morphological studies.

The few tree ferns not in the Cyatheales generally have trunks no higher than two meters tall, while some tree ferns of the Cyatheales have been known to have trunks fifteen meters tall.
It has frequently been suggested that the Dennstaedtioid ferns are allied with the Dicksonioid portion of the Cyatheales (that is, Dennstaedtioid sensu strictu, maybe or maybe not including the Hypolepoid ferns).
The chromosome count origins of the Cyatheales are not clear.
