Additional notes:     

• Taxonomy

  • Doodia is a genus of ferns in the family Blechnaceae, subfamily Blechnoideae, in the suborder Aspleniineae (eupolypods II)

  • Phylogenic studies found Doodia to be embedded within the paraphyletic Blechnum as then circumscribed

  • In 2011, Christenhusz et al. therefore reassigned Doodia species to Blechnum

  • The alternative taken in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) is to split Blechnum into a number of smaller genera, including Doodia
