He, a new fern species of Polystichum sect. Haplopolystichum (Dryopteridaceae), is described and illustrated from the entrance to a karst cave in southern Guizhou, China. A phylogenetic analysis based on the chlo- roplast trnL-F sequences shows that it is phylogenetically isolated in the section with no close relatives. Morphologically, it is similar to P. minutissimum, but P. perpusillum has an acute lamina apex, up to 12 pairs of pinnae per lamina, and deltoid-ovate or ovate-lanceolate rachis scales, while P. minutissimum has a round lamina apex, 5–8 pairs of pinnae per lamina, and subulate or linear rachis scales. Polystichum perpusil- lum has a granulate sculpture with verrucae on its perispore, a sculpture rare in the genus. The species is considered to be critically endangered.

Biodiversity encompasses the variety of life and connectedness among species. Incorporating native plants into the landscape provides natural beauty and enhances beneficial interactions by creating habitat, food, nest sites, pollen and nectar sources for various wildlife including pollinators and birds. Our native plants are best adapted to local environments. These adaptations allow plants to have significant impact on local ecosystem services. These ecosystem services include: provisioning (providing food, clean water and fiber), regulating (climate regulation, stormwater management), supporting (nutrient and water cycling) and cultural (gardening, education in nature). In recent years, there has been significant decline in pollinator populations. Bumblebees and butterflies including Monarchs have suffered dramatic, declining populations in the last 20 years.

  • Ferns, Cycads, Conifers and Vascular Plants
    Flora of Australia Glossary — Ferns, Cycads, Conifers and Vascular plants A main glossary for the Flora of Australia was published in Volume 1 of both printed editions (1981 and 1999). Other volumes contain supplementary glossaries, with specific terms needed for particular families. This electronic glossary is a synthesis of all hard-copy Flora of Australia glossaries and supplementary glossaries published to date. The first Flora of Australia glossary was compiled by Alison McCusker. Mary D. Tindale compiled most of the fern definitions, and the conifer definitions were provided by Ken D. Hill. Russell L. Barrett combined all of these to create the glossary presented here, incorporating additional terms from the printed version of Volume 37. This electronic glossary contains terms used in all volumes, but with particular reference to the flowering plants (Volumes 2–50). This glossary will be updated as future volumes are published. It is the standard to be used by authors compiling future taxon treatments for the Flora of Australia. It also comprises the terms used in Species Plantarum — Flora of the World. Alternative terms For some preferred terms (in bold), alternative terms are also highlighted (in parentheses). For example, apiculum is the preferred term, and (=apiculus) is an alternative. Preferred terms are those also used in Species Plantarum — Flora of the World. © Copyright Commonwealth of Australia, 2017.

BMC Plant Biology 2017, 17(Suppl 2):255 DOI 10.1186/s12870-017-1195-z RESEARCH Open Access Comparative analysis of inverted repeats of polypod fern (Polypodiales) plastomes reveals two hypervariable regions Maria D. Logacheva1, Anastasiya A. Krinitsina1, Maxim S. Belenikin1,2, Kamil Khafizov2,3, Evgenii A. Konorov1,4, Sergey V. Kuptsov1 and Anna S. Speranskaya1,3* From Belyaev Conference Novosibirsk, Russia. 07-10 August 2017 Abstract Background: Ferns are large and underexplored group of vascular plants (~ 11 thousands species). The genomic data available by now include low coverage nuclear genomes sequences and partial sequences of mitochondrial genomes for six species and several plastid genomes. Results: We characterized plastid genomes of three species of Dryopteris, which is one of the largest fern genera, using sequencing of chloroplast DNA enriched samples and performed comparative analysis with available plastomes of Polypodiales, the most species-rich group of ferns. We also sequenced the plastome of Adianthum hispidulum (Pteridaceae). Unexpectedly, we found high variability in the IR region, including duplication of rrn16 in D. blanfordii, complete loss of trnI-GAU in D. filix-mas, its pseudogenization due to the loss of an exon in D. blanfordii. Analysis of previously reported plastomes of Polypodiales demonstrated that Woodwardia unigemmata and Lepisorus clathratus have unusual insertions in the IR region. The sequence of these inserted regions has high similarity to several LSC fragments of ferns outside of Polypodiales and to spacer between tRNA-CGA and tRNA-TTT genes of mitochondrial genome of Asplenium nidus. We suggest that this reflects the ancient DNA transfer from mitochondrial to plastid genome occurred in a common ancestor of ferns.

Microsorum 3 tohieaense can be distinguished from other French Polynesian Microsorum by the combination of sori that are distributed more or less in a single line between the costae and margins, apical pinna wider than lateral pinnae, and round rhizome scales with entire margins. Genetic evidence is also presented for the first time supporting the hybrid origin of Microsorum 3 maximum (Microsorum grossum 3 Microsorum punctatum), and possibly indicating a hybrid origin for the Hawaiian endemic Microsorum spectrum. The implications of hybridization for the taxonomy of microsoroid ferns are discussed, and a key to the microsoroid ferns of the Society Islands is provided. Keywords—gapCp, Moorea, rbcL, Society Islands, Tahiti, trnL–F. Hybridization, or interbreeding between species, plays an et al. 2008).

  • Polystichum Munitum (Kaulf.) C
    Polystichum munitum (Kaulf.) C. Presl Hǝnq̓ ̓ǝmin̓ǝm ̓ Name: sthxhelum Island Hu’lqum̲ ínu’m Name: sthxhelum Upriver Halq’eméylem Name: sthxá:lem English Name: sword fern (western swordfern) Family: Dryopteridaceae (Wood Fern) Identifying characteristics: Polystichum munitum is an evergreen perennial fern that produces lanceolate (sword-shaped) blade 20-150cm long, 5-25cm wide leaves growing from a short, stout rhizome. In addition to the shape, the base of each pinna (leaflet) has a protruding notch that looks like the hilt on a sword. The stalks (rachis) and stipes (stalk below the blade) are covered in cinnamon-coloured scales. Fronds (the whole blade, stalk, and stipe) typically grow 60-90cm in height; emerging fronds are called fiddleheads (efloraBC 2017). emerging fronds Distribution: Sword fern can be commonly found throughout rain forests on the west coast of Turtle Island, from Alaska/ Yukon Territory to northern California (efloraBC 2017). Natural and Cultural History Habitat: P. munitum prefers moist to mesic forest habitats, preferably with large old-growth trees. They can be found growing in the shady understory near Thuja plicata (Western redcedar) and Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas-fir) (Proudfoot et al 2016). 9 Reproduction: Sword ferns do not flower, producing spores from specialized parts located on circular-shaped bumps (sori) located on the underside of the pinna (efloraBC 2017). P. munitum sori Interactions and Human Interest: P. munitum is a favourite fern for native plant gardening in BC. Their deep green stiff fronds are attractive year-round. Sword ferns are very robust, reliable, and essentially maintenance-free. They tolerate difficult soil and manage to look good through the summer drought, recovering quickly in fall rains if not watered during the summer.
