Abstract

A new fern species, Polystichum neoacutidens (Dryopteridaceae), is described and illustrated from a limestone area in northeastern Thailand. It is distinguished from its closest relative, P. acutidens, by the color of petioles and rachises, density of petiole scales, and position of sori.
