Parkeriaceae is a small Fern family, including only a single Genus , '' Ceratopteris '' ( Syn. ''Parkeria''). This genus is unusual among Homosporous ferns in being exclusively aquatic.

''Ceratopteris'' is also important in the study of Pteridophytes because it is a commonly used Model Organism for use in Genomic studies, due to the ease and rapidity with which it can be grown in Laboratories .
