literature and community consensus, the latter particularly when better data is pending. 
In this work Drynaria and Christiopteris are included in synonymy of Aglaomorpha. 
As names are needed for a number of existing and upcoming projects, such as a new 
checklist of Singaporean plants, the Flora of Singapore project, and the Ferns of 
Thailand, Laos and Cambodia website (Lindsay & Middleton, 2012 onwards), we 
hereby make the necessary new combinations, including for those species not strictly 
necessary for these projects. 
The expanded Aglaomorpha has about 50 species (PPG I, 2016) in tropical 
Africa, the islands of the Indian Ocean, tropical Asia and tropical Australia to Fiji.
