Abstract

A new fern species, Hypodematium boonkerdii (Polypodiaceae subfamily Hypodematioideae), is described and illustrated from a limestone area in northeastern Thailand. It is distinguished from its closest relative, H. crenatum, by having a membranous lamina texture, sessile or subsessile pinnae and only one sorus per pinnule segment.
