A Revised Checklist of Fijian Ferns and Lycophytes
Telopea13(3) 513–562 A revised checklist of Fijian ferns and lycophytes P.J. Brownsey and L.R. Perrie Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, P.O. Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand Email: [email protected] Abstract A revised Checklist of 331 species of Fijian ferns and lycophytes is presented here. Six species are presumed to be introduced and 48 (15%) are endemic. The annotated list includes family, genus and species names for all Fijian ferns, and aligns them with names used by Brownlie (1977) in his Pteridophyte Flora of Fiji. Since publication of Brownlie’s work, 29 species have been added to the Fijian fern flora, 79 of the previously recorded taxa now have different generic and/or species names, and c. 40% are placed in different families. Specimens of ferns in the South Pacific Regional Herbarium (SUVA) were examined, and all have been re-identified as far as possible using the updated names. The significance of this work in the context of the wider Pacific region is discussed. Introduction This Checklist of ferns and lycophytes for Fiji updates the names used by Brownlie (1977) in his Pteridophyte Flora of Fiji. There have been significant changes to the taxonomy of ferns since that time, particularly with re-circumscriptions of families and genera (Smith et al. 2006). Subsequent work focused on the fern flora of Fiji includes that of Kramer & Zogg (1988), Parris (1994), Ebihara & Iwatsuki (2007), and the National Museum of Nature and Science (2008). Since our initial unpublished report was submitted (Brownsey & Perrie 2008), Japanese pteridologists have published Illustrated Flora of ferns and fern allies of South Pacific Islands (National Museum of Nature and Science 2008). -
MARATTIA-SAP-Edited
Photo credit: RBG Kew SUMMARY Taxonomy: Kingdom: Plantae; Phylum: Polypodiophyta; Class: Polypodiopsida; Order: Marattiales; Family: Marattiaceae; Species: Ptisana purpurascens Nativeness: Endemic to Ascension Island Description: This imposing fern is the largest of Ascension Island’s endemic plant species, with dark green, twice pinnate fronds up to 1m in length. The stalks (or ‘petioles’) of the fronds are purplish in colour which gives the species its scientific name. It is only found on the damp, mist-drenched slopes around the summit of Green Mountain. IUCN Red List status: Critically Endangered Local trend: Probably stable Threats: The major threat to P. purpurascens is competition with invasive plant species; secondary threats include grazing by introduced mammals and climate change-induced habitat alteration. Citation: Ascension Island Government (2015) Ptisana purpurascens species action plan. In: The Ascension Island Biodiversity Action Plan. Ascension Island Government Conservation Department, Georgetown, Ascension Island Ascension Island BAP: Ptisana purpurascens 2 2. Distribution Global Ptisana purpurascens is endemic to Ascension Island. Local Ptisana purpurascens is known only from the central part of Ascension Island. It occurs on the uppermost slopes of Green Mountain at altitudes between 700 and 860m. The majority of the population is confined to a small area on steep, south and east facing slopes descending from the summit to the intersection of Elliott's Pass with Buddleia Ravine and Gooseberry Ravine. This area has retained the last vestiges of a fern-dominated community similar to that observed by early visitors to the island, although it is increasing invaded by non- native weeds. A few isolated patches are scattered in the highest parts of the south west slopes of Green Mountain, where it is very rare. -

THE HARDY FERN FOUNDATION P.O. Box 3797 Federal Way, WA 98063-3797 Web site: www.hardyfernfoundation.org The Hardy Fern Foundation was founded in 1989 to establish a comprehen¬ sive collection of the world’s hardy ferns for display, testing, evaluation, public education and introduction to the gardening and horticultural community. Many rare and unusual species, hybrids and varieties are being propagated from spores and tested in selected environments for their different degrees of hardiness and ornamental garden value. The primary fern display and test garden is located at, and in conjunction with, The Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden at the Weyerhaeuser Corporate Headquarters, in Federal Way, Washington. Affiliate fern gardens are at the Bainbridge Island Library, Bainbridge Island, Washington; Bellevue Botanical Garden, Bellevue, Washington; Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Birmingham, Alabama; Coastal Maine Botanical Garden, Boothbay, Maine; Dallas Arboretum, Dallas, Texas; Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, Colorado; Georgia Perimeter College Garden, Decatur, Georgia; Inniswood Metro Gardens, Columbus, Ohio; Lakewold, Tacoma, Washington; Lotusland, Santa Barbara, California; Rotary Gardens, Janesville, Wisconsin; Strybing Arboretum, San Francisco, California; University of California Berkeley Botanical Garden, Berkeley, California; and Whitehall Historic Home and Garden, Louisville, Kentucky. Hardy Fern Foundation members participate in a spore exchange, receive a quarterly newsletter and have first access to ferns as they are ready -

Diagnostic description of the species is provided together with its distribution, conservation status and a dichotomous key to the Malesian Athyrium Sect. Polystichoides. Keywords: Mindanao, Athyriaceae, ferns, pteridophytes Introduction from short- to long-creeping, or suberect to erect, (3) divisions of fronds, from pinnate, bi-pinnate to tripinnate-pinnatifid, (4) The Philippines is home to 1,100 species of ferns and shape of indusia, from round to reniform, J-shaped or oblong to lycophytes (“pteridophytes”), belonging to 154 genera and 34 short linear, (5) shape of sori highly variable from reniform to families (Amoroso et al. 2016). This number continues to elongate (Liu et al. 2009). increase with new species and new records that have been Mt. Kitanglad Range Natural Park in northern Mindanao, discovered recently in the country by conducting field work in Philippines, is a protected area and considered as one of the the unexplored mountain ecosystems.

Box 720, Victoria, Mahé, Seychelles. 5Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, U.K, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The fern flora of the Seychelles archipelago remains relatively poorly known. Current projects involving the development of the Seychelles National Herbarium and study of key biodiversity areas have resulted in extensive new explorations on the granitic islands. Historical literature, newly collected specimens and older collections have been revised for the fern family Marattiaceae as a prelude for a fern checklist, resulting in the rediscovery of Ptisana a century after it was last reported (as Marattia). Two species of Angiopteris are recognised in the Seychelles, one of them new to science. In total, three species are recorded from the granitic Seychelles islands, Mahé and Silhouette, and none from the coral islands, which are too dry to harbour Marattiaceae.
