19. Haplopteris C. Presl, Tent. Pterid. 141.1836.
书带蕨属 shu dai jue shu
Authors: Zhang Xianchun & Michael G. Gilbert
Epiphytic or epilithic grasslike plants. Fronds simple, linear, entire, glabrous. Venation consisting of a costa and oblique unbranched veins, free except for a submarginal fertile connecting vein. Sori in one elongate marginal or submarginal groove on each side of lamina, immersed, rarely superficial; paraphyses long with a dark obconic head. Spores monolete, most ellipsoid, sometimes fusiform, smooth, transparent.
About 40 unclear species: tropical and subtropical Asia; 13 species in China.
Most of the Old World species formally classified in Vittaria now belong to Haplopteris. Vittaria suberecta Hayata (Icon. Pl. Formosan. 6: 161. 1916), described from Taiwan, could not be treated here because no material was seen by the present authors.
