Abstract:

A new section (Sect. Neopolystichu Ching) of Polystichum Roth is described.

The lanceolate microscales on the lower surfaces of pinnules make this section very different

from Sect. Metapolystichum Tagawa(emend. Zhang & Kung, 1996). The new section is

taxonomically treated with seven species recorded in it. It is considered that P. kiusiuense

Tagawa is a synonym of P. grandifrons C. Chr. and it is very possible that P. biarista-

tum (B1.) Moore is not distributed in the Himalayas, Indo-China, Myanmar and Yunnan.

Key words: Polystichum, Sect. Neopolystichum, New section
