Ophioglossidae is a subclass of Equisetopsida in the sense used by Mark W. Chase and James L. Reveal in their 2009 article "A phylogenetic classification of the land plants to accompany APG III."[1] This subclass consists of the ferns commonly known as whisk ferns, grape ferns, adder's-tongues and moonworts. It is equivalent to the class Psilotopsida in previous treatments, including Smith et al., 2006.[2] Chase and Reveal originally listed the separate subclass, Psilotidae Reveal 1996, in their 2009 paper,[1] but Christenhusz et al., 2011, included both the Ophioglossales and Psilotales orders in the Ophioglossidae subclass.[3]
