Abstract

Pteris grevilleana Wall. ex Agardh var. ornata Alderw. has a white stripe at the center of the blade, which is the marked difference from P. grevilleana var. grevilleana. New records of this variety in Taiwan are reported. Using flow cytometry, tetraploids of P. grevilleana var. ornata were found in Vietnam, and diploids were found in Taiwan. Their spore characteristics are also given herein. The spore sizes of the two ploids significantly differ.
