Nephrolepidaceae is a small family, widespread in the tropics but with a few species extending to the southern temperate region. It includes the single genus Nephrolepis, represented in New Zealand by two indigenous and two naturalised species. Of the indigenous species, N. brownii is confined in New Zealand to the Kermadec Islands while N. flexuosa is found only on Raoul Island and in thermal areas of the North Island. N. cordifolia is widely naturalised in lowland areas from Northland to the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne, and from Wanganui to Wellington and north-west Nelson. N. exaltata has only recently been recorded in New Zealand and is naturalised in a few places in the Waitākere Ranges, Auckland. Nephrolepis species are extensively cultivated, and both naturalised species probably initially established as escapes from cultivation.
Species of Nephrolepis in New Zealand are mostly terrestrial ferns with erect rhizomes, but they are capable of spreading by long-creeping stolons or underground tubers. All species have erect fronds, pinnate laminae, and submarginal or medial sori protected by reniform or lunulate indusia.
