Species of the genus Anemia are sometimes called flowering ferns, but this term is more commonly applied to ferns of the genus Osmunda

Osmunda

Osmunda is a genus of primarily temperate-zone ferns of family Osmundaceae. Five to ten species have been listed for this genus.The species have completely dimorphic fronds or pinnae , green photosynthetic sterile fronds, and non-photosynthetic spore-bearing fertile pinnae, with large, naked...

. It is sometimes classified in family Schizaeaceae

Schizaeaceae

Schizaeaceae is a family of 35 to 40 species of small ferns, chiefly tropical.Genera historically treated as belonging to this family include Anemia, Lygodium, and Mohria...

. Fronds are dimorphic; in fertile fronds, the two lowermost pinnae are highly modified to bear the sporangia.

Ferns in this genus have chromosome numbers based on n=38: n=38, 76, 114.
