ABSTRACT = {During the first author’s visit to Taiwan in 2002 he checked many fern specimens at several herbaria, i.e. HAST, TAI, TAIF and TNM and found several new taxa, including 6 new records; Pteris dissitifolia Baker, Dryopteris huangshanensis Ching, Dryopteris latibasis Ching, Dryopteris redactopinnata S. K. Basu & Panigr., Microsorium carinatum (W. M. Chu & Z. R. He) S. G. Lu and Polypodiodes chinensis (H. Christ) S. G. Lu and 2 new combinations for Taiwan (Microsorium carinatum (W. M. Chu & Z. R. He) S. G. Lu, and Polypodiodes raishanensis (Rosenst.) S. G. Lu). The description and voucher specimens only for the newly recorded species have been accepted in the present work. Based on the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae vols. 2-6, there are about 2,600 species of ferns in China. Because different fern arrangement systems are used in Taiwan and Mainland China, lots of different scientific names are applied to the same taxon. The arrangement of families in the present work follows Ching’s system (1978) instead of that in the Flora of Taiwan 2nd ed. Including those newly recorded spesies there are 57 families, 184 genera and 677 species/taxa (including infraspecific taxa) presented in the present work.},
