Abstract:

 Photinopteris J. Sm.,  a new recorded genus of Drynariaceae, is reported
in this paper. It was found in the Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve. The occurrence of
Photinopteris in southern Yunnan is of phytogeographical interest,  not only  adding
an important genus to the Chinese Pteridophyta flora,  but also giving a fresh piece
of evidence of the closely floristic relationship between this  area  and  south-eastern
Asia.  It is of great value for studies of the Pteridophyta flora of Yunnan.

Key words: Photinopteris, P. speciosa
