Abstract

BACKGROUND

The Pteridaceae family is the largest fern family in Togo by its specific and generic diversity. Like all other families of ferns in the country, Pteridaceae are poorly studied and has no identification key. The objective of this study is to perform a taxonomic revision and list establishment of this family of leptosporangiate ferns in the light of current available knowledge about the family. Pteridaceae was also assessed in terms of its diversity and conservation status, this was conducted through the recent field data and the existing herbaria specimens. The current study permits to confirm the presence of Pteris similis Kuhn. which brought the number of Pteridaceae to 17 in Togo.

NEW INFORMATION

This study provides first local scientific information about the fern flora of Togo. It confirmed the presence of Pterissimilis Kuhn. in Togo and brought the Pteridaceae family diversity to 17 species. A species identification key is provided for the easy identification of the Pteridaceae of Togo.

摘要

背景

凤尾蕨科是多哥蕨类植物中种类和属类最为多样的最大蕨类植物科。与该国所有其他蕨类植物科一样，凤尾蕨科研究较少且没有鉴定检索表。本研究的目的是根据目前关于该科的现有知识，对这一薄囊蕨科进行分类修订并建立名录。还通过近期的实地数据和现有的标本馆标本，对凤尾蕨科的多样性和保护状况进行了评估。当前的研究证实了相似凤尾蕨（Pteris similis Kuhn.）的存在，这使得多哥的凤尾蕨科植物种类达到了17种。
