Culcita is a genus of ferns, native to the Americas, Macaronesia and Iberian Peninsula. It is the only genus in the family Culcitaceae in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[1] Alternatively, the family may be treated as the subfamily Culcitoideae of a very broadly defined family Cyatheaceae,[2] the placement used for the genus in Plants of the World Online as of November 2019.[3]
