Flora Malesiana Flora Malesiana
ISBN 90-71236-39-0
Edited by C. Kalkman and H.P. Nooteboom, published by Rijksherbarium / Hortus Botanicus, Leiden, The Netherlands, under the auspices of Foundation Flora Malesiana.
Contains taxonomic revisions of seven families of Ferns and Fern allies for Malesia, i.e. the area covering the countries Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Singapore, The Philippines, and Papua New Guinea.
Starting with Flora Malesiana Vol. 13 of Series I, the subdivision of the volumes into parts will be abandoned. It has appeared that hardly anywhere, not even in libraries, the parts are bound together into the thick green volumes we were familiar with in the beginning of the project. Every issue, covering one or more families, will from now on be called a volume.

The family, world-wide in distribution, is represented in Malesia by 18 genera and 183 species. Many species are epiphytic, and the family contains some of the most striking as well as some of the most abundant epiphytes of the Malesian area. Its representatives form a significant part of the vascular epiphytic flora of both the lowland and the mountain forests. Platycerium (staghorn ferns) is of considerable horticultural interest, and the association of ants with the genus Lecanopteris is ecologically interesting. The systematic account is to a large extent based on the monographs and character analysis carried out by Hennipman and co-workers. As circumscribed here, in Malesia the following genera are represented: Aglaomorpha (with 14 species), Arthromeris (1), Belvisia (6), Christiopteris (2), Drynaria (7), Goniophlebium (13), Lecanopteris (13), Lemmaphyllum (2), Lepisorus (4), Leptochilus (6, including Colysis), Microsorum (30, including Phymatosorus and Neocheiropteris), Paraselliguea (1), Platycerium (6), Podosorus (1), Polypodiopteris (3), Pyrrosia (23), Selliguea (49), Thylacopteris (2). The genus Loxogramme, often included in Polypodiaceae, is here considered to belong to a separate family Loxogrammaceae. Family, genera and Malesian species are formally described and annotated, in all but a few cases exclusively on basis of Malesian material. Keys to the genera and species are given, in some cases regional keys are presented.
One new combination is made on p. 13: Aglaomorpha acuminata (Willd.) Hovenkamp (basionym: Acrostichum acuminatum Willd.)
Illustration is by 31 line drawings, of which 18 are full-page.

H.P. Nooteboom
A family of which several species are cultivated as ornamentals. Short paragraphs on the distribution and chromosome numbers are included. The family is represented in Malesia by three genera, Davallia (23 species), Davallodes (6) and Leucostegia (2). A key to the genera and for each genus a key to species are included. SEM photographs of the sori of Davallia are given, as well as photographs of a herbarium sheet of one species of each genus.

R.K.M Saunders
This nearly cosmopolitan family with only one genus and 6 or 7 species is represented in Malesia by one species, Azolla pinnata R. Br. The general part of the treatment includes paragraphs on reproduction, fossils, phylogeny, vegetative and reproductive structures and life cycle, chromosomes, uses and taxonomy. The family and the Malesian species are described, and a drawing of the plant and details of the reproductive structures is given.

J.E. Laferričre
A description is given of the family which has only one genus with c. 15 species. In Malesia only one subspecies is found, Equisetum ramosissimum Desf. subsp. debile (Vauch.) Hauke, which is described. A drawing of habit and details is given.

M. Kato
In this family two genera are distinguished, Matonia and Phanerosorus, with two species each. The family is restricted to Malesia. Family, genera and species are described and annotated and keys to genera and species are included. Habitat and ecology, taxonomy and affinity, and fossils are discussed. One line drawing is given.

X.C. Zhang and H.P Nooteboom
A description is given of the family, which ahs only one genus, Plagiogyria, with 11 species. In Malesia 7 species occur, one of which, P. egenolfioides (Baker) Copel., with 4 varieties. The general part of the treatment covers 4 pages and includes paragraphs on distribution, ecology and morphology. The family and its species and varieties are described and annotated. A key to the species is included. Four photographs of herbarium sheets have been reproduced.
