[2] [3] It is the only genus in the family in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), but further investigation is needed. [2] It is pantropical and its species are found in wet, shaded forest areas. [4] Saccoloma species are characterized by an omega-shaped (Ω) vascular bundle in the cross-sections of their petioles. [5] [6] The common name soralpouch fern is used for Saccoloma. [7]
Saccoloma includes Orthiopteris in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), with a total of 18 species. [2] As of August 2019 [update], Plants of the World Online accepts the following species (which may be based on a wider circumscription of the genus).
