Family Actinopteridaceae Pichi-Sermoli (1970) has been merged into family Pteridaceae Ching. by Kramer & Green (1990) and Smith et al. (2006). Actinopteris radiata (Sw.) Link., a tiny clumped fern with miniature fan-palm shaped leaves was reported from south, central and west India but never from eastern India. Present collection extends the geographical territory of the taxon. This medicinally useful species has been extensively collected hence has become threatened. The taxonomic and distributional aspect has been discussed in this paper.
