The Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot is renowned for its rich biodiversity,including that of vascular plants.However,the fern diversity and its endemism in this hotspot have not been well understood and so far,the dive...
The genus Pyrrosia belongs to the family Polypodiaceae and are medium-sized epiphytic ferns,where the dried leaves of Pyrrosia lingua,Pyrrosia sheareri,Pyrrosia lanceolata,and Pyrrosia calvata are commonly used in med...

Ralf Knapp shared one sample. De-Kui Chen helped with the laboratory work and Carl J. Rothfels provided locality information for one species. Daniele Cicuzza, Shi-Yong Dong, Andrew S. Doran, Zhao-Rong He, Peter Hovenkamp, Layne Huiet, Serena Lee, Hong-Mei Liu, Patrik Mraz, Viera Mrazova, and Alan R. Smith helped provide images of some specimens. We thank Nicholas J. Turland for Greek consultation, and Harald Schneider for helpful comments.
We undertook phylogenetic analyses to resolve the relationships of Pteridrys and related taxa based on six plastid markers (atpA, atpB, matK& rps16-matK, rbcL, rps4 & rps4-trnS, and trnL & trnL-F) and nuclear pgi...
Three new species are described and another is recognized in Campyloneurum. Two species occur in Mexico to El Salvador and the others two are present in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. The new species are Campyloneu...
