However, intergeneric relationships between and , , and of the tribe Laureae remain unresolved. In this study, we present phylogenetic analyses of seven newly sequenced plastomes, together with 47 Laureae plastomes obtained from public databases, representing six genera of the Laureae.

Here, we explored different biological aspects to enable protection of these rare ferns, well known as Mesozoic living fossils. Firstly, we documented the cytology of the Chinese occurrences for the first time.
