Lost mohria
The fern genus Mohria is a small one of eight species, restricted to southern Africa and Madagascar. Plants in this genus superficially resemble Cheilanthes, but the sporangial structure indicates their close affinity to Anemia. Unlike all other genera in the Schizaeales, plants of Mohria do not have dimorphic fronds.
Contents
The basal chromosome count of this genus is consistently n=76, based on the number n=38, which is consistent with Anemia.

Species
Because Mohria is considered to be embedded in Anemia, all Mohria species have been transferred to corresponding Anemia species.
