The medium-sized and mostly tropical family Davalliaceae is represented in New Zealand by one indigenous and two naturalised species of the sole genus Davallia; all of them are rare. The indigenous species, D. tasmanii, comprises two subspecies – one endemic to the Three Kings Islands and the other to Puketi Forest in Northland. The two naturalised species are also uncommon, occurring spasmodically in the northern half of the country.
All members of the family in New Zealand are terrestrial or epiphytic ferns with short- to long-creeping rhizomes densely covered in scales, fronds that are articulated to phyllopodia on the rhizomes, laminae that are often coriaceous and deltoid-shaped, and submarginal sori protected by lunate to pouched indusia.
