The family Marattiaceae is represented in New Zealand by just one genus, with one non-endemic species, confined to the northern part of the North Island. Ptisana salicina is characterised by very large fronds that grow from a basal rhizome, swellings at the bases of the laminae and pinnae, and sporangia that are fused into synangia. The species was once common in northern forests, and was cultivated by Māori as a food crop, but is now declining because of predation by wild pigs and habitat loss.
