Abstract

Based on the examination of herbarium specimens and on observations of most Thai species in their natural habitat, an updated account and status of the Microsorum sensu lato (Polypodiaceae) is presented. This includes 11 species of Microsorum Link and four species of Phymatosorus Pic. Serm. The descriptions, distributional and ecological information of all previously recognized taxa have been completed and corrected where necessary. The nomenclatural status and synonyms were thoroughly reviewed with typifications of all names. Determination keys to the species of both genera in Thailand are provided.
