“…This is inferior in attachment, globose and becomes saucer-shaped enclosing the sporangia, but is later obscured by the developing sporangia. Hypoderris was first described by Brown in Hooker (1838) and was placed in Polypodiaceae (Hooker 1844, Maxon 1926, Christensen 1934. Brown thought Hypoderris to be close to Woodsia R.Br., but he also stated that its leaves have a similar structure to that of some Polypodium L. or Aspidium Sw. Based on its unique morphological and anatomical characters, including petioles with four vascular strands and the indusia and sori described above, Bower (1928) suggested placing the genus in Woodsieae, which he considered to be part of the dryopterid ferns.…”

On the monophyly of subfamily Tectarioideae (Polypodiaceae) and the phylogenetic placement of some associated fern genera

The fern genus Tectaria has generally been placed in the family Tectariaceae or in subfamily Tectarioideae (placed in Dennstaedtiaceae, Dryopteridaceae or Polypodiaceae), both of which have been variously circumscribed in the past. Here we study for the first time the phylogenetic relationships of the associated genera Hypoderris (endemic to the Caribbean), Cionidium (endemic to New Caledonia) and Pseudotectaria (endemic to Madagascar and Comoros) using DNA sequence data. Based on a broad sampling of 72 species of eupolypods I (= Polypodiaceae sensu lato) and three plastid DNA regions (atpA, rbcL and the trnL-F intergenic spacer) we were able to place the three previously unsampled genera. Our results show that Cionidium, like Ctenitopsis, Fadyenia, Hemigramma and Quercifilix, is embedded in Tectaria, and the monophyly of Tectaria is therefore corroborated only if these segregate genera are included. Hypoderris is sister to Tectaria brauniana and together they are sister to Triplophyllum, which was found to be monophyletic. Despite their morphological similarity with Tectaria, the genera Pleocnemia and Pseudotectaria were placed in Dryopteridoideae. Polypodiaceae subfamily Tectarioideae (former family Tectariaceae) is hereby defined to include Arthropteris, Hypoderris, Pteridrys, Tectaria and Triplophyllum. Aenigmopteris may also belong here, but this genus remains unsampled.

“…However, easily observed synapomorphies distinguishing the various clades of cheilanthoid ferns are few, and homoplastic characters abound. To paraphrase Sir William Hooker (1852 : 75), “Vain is the attempt to form a definite character which shall decide the limits of [ Cheilanthes ],” a statement that applies equally well to Myriopteris . Highly divided (decompound) leaf blades with small ultimate segments are scattered across the cheilanthoid tree and, indeed, are characteristic of ferns in general, and an indument of hairs and/or scales is one common strategy among plants used to reduce water loss in xeric habitats ( Hevly 1963 ).…”

Toward a monophyletic Cheilanthes: The resurrection and recircumscription of Myriopteris (Pteridaceae)

The fern genus Cheilanthes (Pteridaceae) has perplexed taxonomists for more than two centuries. Complex patterns of evolution involving rampant morphological convergence, polyploidy, hybridization, and apomixis have made the taxonomy of this group especially difficult. Fortunately, recent phylogenetic analyses have helped to clarify relationships among cheilanthoid taxa. Based on these findings, we here formalize an updated taxonomy for one monophyletic clade comprising 47 primarily North and Central American taxa usually included in Cheilanthes. Because the type species of Cheilanthes (Cheilanthes micropteris) is only distantly related to this clade, we resurrect the genus Myriopteris to accommodate these taxa, and present a revised circumscription for the group, including 36 new combinations.

“…Tectaria chinensis is the sole species in Tectaria from China and Vietnam which is featured by the veins forming costal and costular areoles (lacking free included veinlets) combined with sori dorsal on anastomosing veins (as well dorsal on free veins). In the whole range of Indochina, there are only two species, T. chattagramica (Clarke 1880: 548) Ching (1931 and T. tenerifrons (Hooker 1864: 104) Ching (1931, possessing the similar venation and the sori feature as in T. chinensis. Evidently T. chinensis is very different from the two species in other characters, such as the long-erect caudex (short in T. chattagramica or long-creeping in T. tenerifrons), copiously scaly stipe (glabrous in both T. chattagramica and T. tenerifrons), and dark brown stipe and rachis (polished and castaneous in T. chattagramica or light stramineous in T. tenerifrons).…”

The true Tectaria chinensis (Tectariaceae): morphology, distribution, and allied species

Tectaria chinensis is a poorly known species from China, with its type being the sole authentic voucher to date. Recent field observations and morphological comparisons reveal its type being an incomplete frond, which resulted in the constant misinterpretation of some morphological characters and the allied species to T. chinensis. In fact, T. chinensis is a very special species restricted in southern China and northern Vietnam and featured by the unique long and erect caudex and the rare combination of partly free venation and vein-dorsal sori. Phylogenetically, T. chinensis was revealed by our previous analyses of five plastid regions to be in the Ctenitopsis group (Clade III or T. subg. Ctenitopsis), forming a sister clade to the lineage of T. fuscipes. A detailed description, explanatory illustrations, as well as distribution and habitat information of T. chinensis are provided.
