Salviniaceae ( /sælˌvɪniˈeɪsiˌiː/), [1] [2] is a family of heterosporous ferns in the order Salviniales. [3] The Salviniaceae contain the two genera Azolla and Salvinia, [4] with about 20 known species in total. [5] The oldest records of the family date to the Late Cretaceous. [6] Azolla was previously placed in its own family, Azollaceae, but research has shown Azolla and Salvinia to be sister genera with the likely phylogenic relationship shown in the following diagram.
