Abstract

Dennstaedtiaceae is a monophyletic fern family widespread in tropical and temperate regions. Data on the anatomy of its species in Peninsular Malaysia are still scarce. Here, we examined anatomical characteristics (leaf venations & shape of steles) among ten species of seven Dennstaedtiaceae genera recorded in Peninsular Malaysia. Two types of vein patterns were observed, most of them having open-leaf venation whereas closed venation was observed only in Histiopteris species. Four types of steles which were ‘U’-shaped, ‘I’-shaped, scattered, and a combination of ‘S’ and ‘W’-shaped and a combination of inverted ‘C’ and ‘W’-shaped’ were observed among all the Dennstaedtiaceae species studied.
