Maxonia is a genus of ferns in the fern family Dryopteridaceae, subfamily Polybotryoideae, in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I).[2] The genus has a single species Maxonia apiifolia, native to Cuba and Jamaica.[1] It formerly occurred in Florida, but is now extinct there.[3]
The genus name of Maxonia is in honour of William Ralph Maxon (1877–1948), who was an American botanist and pteridologist.[4]
The genus was circumscribed by Carl Christensen in Smithsonian Misc. Collect. vol.6 (Issue 9) n page 3 in 1916.
