Abstract:

With the evidence from palynological, cytological, ecological and morphological data,

the subspecific taxonomy of Asplenium trichomanes L. from China is carried out. Four subspecies

and one variety, i.e.A. trichomanes L. ssp. trichomanes, A. trichomanes L. ssp. inexpectans

Lovis, A. trichomanes L. ssp. quadrivalens D. E. Meyer emend. Lovis, A. trichomanes L. ssp.

pachyrachis (Christ) Lovis et Reichst. and A. trichomanes L. var. harovii Moore emend. Midle

are recognized from China. The distribution of each subspecies and variety is also presented. Some

fragments of a type specimen named as A. trichomanes L. var. centrochinense Christ in PE are

found to be different from the known taxa of A. trichomanes L. complex both morphologically and

cytologically, and therefore are regarded representing a new species.

Key words: Asplenium trichomanes L．, Subspecific taxonomy, China．
