Brit- tonia 54: 331±339. 2002.ÐThree new species of Thelypteris are described and illustrated: T. littoralis and T. paranaensis, endemic to the rainforest of the southern Brazilian Atlantic coast, and T. multigemmifera, endemic to inland gallery forests of the SaÄo Paulo state. In addition, four new combinations are made: T. cutiataensis (Brade) Salino, T. iguapensis (C. Chr.) Salino, T. mono- sora (C. Presl) Salino, and T. schwackeana (H. Christ in C. Chr.) Salino. A new name is proposed for Dryopteris lugubris var. quadrangularis: T. montana Sal- ino. The species treated here belong to Thelypteris subg.

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.

The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.

Circumscription of the Group by Kunio IwATsUKI Botanical Institute, College of Science, University of I<yoto (Received May 25, 1964) The thelypteroid ferns can not be clearly circumscribed even at present, and we have several genera which are included in or excluded from this series of ferns according to the conceptions of various authors. To better understand the accurate boundary of our series, some of the recent works will be referred to here. The recent treatment of importance concerning the circumscription and relationship of the thelypteroid ferns are those given to the fern classifications by CHRisTENsEN (1938), CHiNG (1940), CopELAND (1947), HoLTTuM (1947 etc.) and others. In the last decade, several contributions have been made but they are fragmentary. The genera which are included in our series by some authors or excluded by the others have been studied by various botanists from the stand- point of morphology or taxonomy, but their investigations are independent from each other, little reference being made to the works by similar methods and conceptions.
