Abstract:
A new species, Leptochilus dolichophyllus (Polypodiaceae), from central-northern Fujian, southeastern China, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to Leptochilus leveillei, but differs by its hemiepiphytic habit and longer frond. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on three plastid regions (rbcL, rps4 + rps4-trnS, and trnL + trnL-trnF) demonstrates that the new species represents a distinct and well-supported clade. Both morphological and molecular data provide compelling evidence for the recognition of L. dolichophyllus as a new species. Furthermore, the complete plastid genome of this new species is reported.
