Genus Actiniopteris Link belongs to the subfamily Pteridoideae C.Chr. ex Crabbe, Jermy & Mickel of family Pteridaceae E.D.M.Kirchn. and includes 6 species: Actiniopteris australis (L. f.) Link, A. dimorpha Pichi-Serm, A. kornasii Medwecka-Kornas, A. radiata (Koenig ex Sw.) Link, A. semiflabellata Pichi-Serm, A. pauciloba Pichi-Serm. (Kuznetsov et al, 2009; Christenhusz et al, 2011).
Actiniopteris species grow mainly in the mountainous regions of tropical and subtropical regions of the Old World within the African-Asian area of distribution. There are all six species of the genus in the central and eastern part of the African continent; only two of them — A. dimorpha and A. australis — in the southeast of Africa, on the Madagascar Island (Tardieu-Blot, 1952; Pichi Sermolli, 1962; Lawalrée, 1969; Schelpe 1970; Thulin, 1993; Burrows, 1990; Verdcourt, 1999). In Southern Asia A. australis, A. radiata spread; in south-west of Asia, in the Arabian Peninsula — A. australis; on the Socotra island — A. semiflabellata (Pichi Sermolli, 1962; Kornas et al, 1982; Beddome, 1983; Ohba, Malla, 1988; Gurung, 1991). All the Actiniopteris species are xerophytes, they prefer dry habitats and could be found on dry slopes and in rock crevices at an altitude of 100 to 2700 m asl. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The synopsis is compiled on the basis of materials of Europe and Asia herbarium funds — B, P, TI, PE, LE, KYO, ALTB, TK, as well as with the assistance of special botanical literature. The synopsis of Actiniopteris consists of 6 species. For each species we give its Latin name, basionym, nomenclature citation, synonyms, place of first description, information about type, data on the habitat, distribution in countries with citations of locations and general distribution. The original key for determination of all Actiniopteris species has been compiled.

Plants are relatively not large, reach a height of 10-35 cm. Rhizome is short, oblique. Parts of the first order (of vegetative and sporiferous frond) are frond final parts, which extend radially from a single point at the top of leaf stalk and together form a plate of the frond. The length of the part (sporiferous and vegetative) is ten times greater than the width.
The 6 species from Africa and Southern Asia.
Lectotypus: Actiniopteris radiata (Swartz) Link (Pichi-Serm., 1962).
Dry habitats (crevices of rocks, dry slopes), common in elevations, also found in open areas in the forest. Distrib.: Africa, Asia, the islands of Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion (Bourbon), Zanzibar, Socotra, Seychelles, Comoros, Cape Verde.
The key for determination of the species of Actiniopteris Link.
1. A frond plate formed by final parts, which compose an angle of less than 30°; scales narrowly lanceolate, monochromatic light brown to transparent, sometimes with dark brown (but not black) strip along the midline........................................................................................................................................................................................ 2
— The frond plate formed by final parts, which compose an angle of more than 30°, scales lanceolate and narrowly lanceolate, two-colored (light brown and black)................................................................................................. 3
2. Plants height up to 10 cm. The frond final parts in a small number (2-4). The stalk usually 2-3 times longer than frond plate, scales narrowly lanceolate, monochromatic light brown to transparent....................1. A. kornasii
— Plants 10-35 cm high. The frond final parts in number of 4 or more. The stalk is usually proportionate to, or 1.5-2 times as long as the frond plate, scales narrowly lanceolate, monochromatic light brown to transparent, sometimes with dark brown (but not black) strip along the midline..........................................................6. A. australis
3. The stalk usually 4-5 times longer than frond plate; the frond final parts form an angle of 90-180° or more; hair-like scales climb to the top of the stalk, forming bundles on the joint place of the stalk and the frond final parts........................................................................................................................................................................2. A. radiata
— The stalk usually 1.5-3 times longer than frond plate, the final parts of the frond form an angle of 30-180°, no more, the scales presented only at the base of the stalk...............................................................................................4
4. Sterile ending of final part of sporiferous frond simple (edges without denticles), without dissection (without blades and insections), not large, an extension of the final part (not free); scales narrowly lanceolate, entire black and black with bright edges..........................................................................................................................4. A. pauciloba
— Plants have different characters.....................................................................................................................................5
5. Sterile ending of final part of sporiferous frond slight, narrowed, at the top with an almost imperceptible denticles, scales narrowly lanceolate, elongate, 2-colored; at the base of the stalk light brown with a black stripe in the middle and light brown....................................................................................................................5. A. semiflabellata
— Sterile ending of final part of sporiferous frond slight, narrow-sharpened, not divided and without blades and insections (with the exception of an option with partial dimorphism of fronds, when sterile ending of the final part of sporiferous frond whole, with small blades and (or) denticles on the top and by edges); scales broadly lanceolate, not elongated, two-colored; black with bright edges and light brown ...........................................................................................................................................................................3.
