Abstract
Pteridophytes are the first terrestrial vascular plants with vascular tissue xylem and phloem. They do not produce flowers or seeds, thus called as cryptogams. They reproduce by spores. They include ferns and horsetails. Ferns and their allies form the oldest major divisions of the Pteridophytes with more than 12000. Ferns can grow in all climatic zones but show great diversity in the tropics. They are found in damp and shady places. Ferns are used as food, fooder, fiber and as ornamentals. There are a lot of studies on the economic values of higher plants but pteridophytes have been ignored Major three genera VIZ, pteris, adiantum and phymatopteris were identified that showing maximum species numbers 10 species, 06 species and 05 species respectively. Morphological Keys identification is also performed for authentic information.
