We conducted phylogenetic analyses of the fern family Grammitidaceae using sequences from two cpDNA genes and morphological characters. Data were obtained for 73 species most recognized genera in family. The Adenophorus, Ceradenia, Calymmodon, Cochlidium, Enterosora , Melpomene each strongly supported as being monophyletic. Other that not monophyletic included Ctenopteris, Grammitis, Lellingeria, Micropolypodium, Prosaptia Terpsichore . Several previously unrecognized clades identified, some...
Aim To compare the species richness, and taxonomic life‐form composition of tropical montane pteridophyte floras on two well‐documented sites: Mount (Mt) Kinabalu, Sabah, Borneo Parque Nacional (PN) Carrasco, central Bolivia. Methods Using published lists, we compared elevational distribution overall specific families, life‐forms along both study sites. Additionally, point‐diversity by establishing 108 plots 400 m 2 at PN 15 such Mt Kinabalu three a lowland site Danum Valley in south‐eastern...
Abstract The Blechnaceae is one of the most speciose fern families in New Zealand, with two genera represented: Blechnum and Doodia. We se‐quenced chloroplast trnL‐trnF locus for all species indigenous to plus several non‐indigenous species. Although deeper relationships were not well resolved by phylogenetic analyses these DNA sequences, groupings consistently recovered. Some have been previously suspected on basis morphological similarity and/or hybridisation (e.g., B. procerum group), are...
Summary The New Zealand and southern Australian form of Doodia media R.Br, is separable from the type Queensland described here as subspecies australis. D. squarrosa Col. reinstated a species distinct caudata (Cav.)R.Br. hybrid × ssp. australis named digena. milnei Carr recognised full restricted to Kermadec Islands. aspera recorded for first time in Zealand. A key taxa given, based on field grown plants, both living herbarium specimens, plants uniform environment two years. Typification,...
Abstract Grammitidoideae are the largest subfamily in Polypodiaceae and contain about 911 species. Progress has been made understanding overall phylogeny generic boundaries light of recent molecular works. However, majority species, especially Asian some critical type species genera remain unsampled . In this study, a dataset six plastid markers 1003 (112 new) accessions representing ca. 412 including Ctenopterella , Grammitis Moranopteris Radiogrammitis Themelium was assembled to infer...

New Records of Lycophytes and Ferns from Moorea, French Polynesia.-Wereport here 11 new taxon records for the island Polynesia, that were not listed in floristic study by Murdock Smith (Pacific Sci.57: 253-265.2003.).These additions bring total number pteridophyte species known to 83.These records, seven them collected during an ascent one highest peaks on Moorea (Mt.Mouaputa), found at following three localities.1) trail Belvedere parking lot, west towards Col des Trois Cocotiers; GPS...
Grammitid ferns are a well-supported clade of ~900 primarily tropical epiphytic species. Recent phylogenetic studies have found support for distinctive, geographically diverse group 24 species referred to as the Lellingeria myosuroides and provided evidence variety relationships within group, well hypotheses historical processes that produced current biogeographical patterns. We present new data analyses following primary conclusions: 1) L. is monophyletic pantropical; 2) sister more rich...
One genus (Chrysogrammitis) and twelve species (Asplenium pifongiae, Chrysogrammitis musgraviana, Crepidomanes makinoi, Ctenitis sinii, Ctenopterella khaoluangensis, Didymoglossum wallii, Dryopteris hendersonii, Hymenophyllum palmatifidum, H. paniculiflorum, Polystichum prionolepis, Pteris latipinna, Stegnogramma wilfordii) of ferns are reported as new records for Vietnam based on newly collected specimens from Lang Biang Plateau. We provide photographs key characters, type information,...
Three new species (Calymmodon concinnus, Oreogrammitis parvula, Xiphopterella parva), and seven records (Dasygrammitis brevivenosa, sinohirtella, Radiogrammitis beddomeana, R. jagoriana, Scleroglossum pyxidatum, S. sulcatum Themelium halconense) of grammitid ferns (Polypodiaceae) are reported for the flora Vietnam, mostly from newly collected specimens. We provide detailed morphological descriptions, illustrations, ecology distribution, taxonomic notes each species. Furthermore, type...
Following a recent phylogenetic study, we here review the circumscription of grammitid fern genus Oreogrammitis (Polypodiaceae: Grammitidoideae). We propose three new genera Calligrammitis, Devolia, and Glabrigrammitis, to accommodate clades resolved outside core Oreogrammitis. The taxonomic treatment is presented, morphology each shown with color plate.
New combinations in Cranfillia (Blechnaceae: Polypodiopsida) are provided for: Blechnum aequabile T.C.Chambers, B. humile megavulcanicum nukuhivense ED.Br., phanerophlebium Baaker ex C.Chr., venosum Copel., vulcanicum var. feani E.D.Br. (B. (E.D.Br.) T.C.Chambers), and tovii T.C.Chambers) Lomaria deltoides Colenso (Blechnum (Colenso) T.C.Chambers.
Fourteen genera and approximately 373 species of grammitid ferns (formerly Grammitidaceae, now Polypodiaceae) occur in Malesia. The Flora Malesiana account the group is 75% complete (280 species). are illustrated briefly described. Current studies involve working through that have long been herbarium dumping grounds containing numerous undescribed species, such as Calymmodon cucullatus (Nees & Blume) C.Presl, Prosaptia contigua (G.Forst.) Radiogrammitis hirtella (Blume) Parris (as...
Our understanding of the flora China has greatly improved during last 100 years but effective management rich biodiversity and unique natural resources requires resolving taxonomic limitations existing treatments. Here, we focus on epiphytic genus Scleroglossum with special emphasis occurrences in Hainan Yunnan mainland China. By combining fieldwork, herbarium studies, DNA barcoding test hypothesis that this is represented by more than one species integrative results show accessions are...
Thirty-six new combinations are provided in Oreogrammitis Copel. (Polypodiaceae: Polypodiopsida). The species have previously been included Radiogrammitis Parris and Themelium (T.Moore) Parris. Lectotypes chosen for Polypodium allocotum Alderw., P. ctenoideum Brause, flagelliforme loherianum Christ, subpinnatifidum Blume yoderi var. denudatum Alderw.
