Review on the genus Tectaria Cav. from India

https://doi.org/10.14719/pst.2019.6.2.511Keywords:
Tectariaceae, Taxonomy, Cytology, Diversity, FernAbstract
The fern genus Tectaria Cav. (Tectariaceae) is one of the largest, morphologically diverse and more complex genera having difficulties in identifying the species and their groups. Since its description, a number of new genera had been separated from it or merged within it created considerable ambiguity. Thus, the main aim of the present review is to provide comprehensive information of the taxonomy, cytology, anatomy, palynology and molecular research carried out so far on the genus Tectaria. Present work is not merely compilation but includes personal observations and is presented here after critical evaluation.
