Features: Ferns are a unique natural group in the plant kingdom. The sporophytes, mature reproductive organs, and especially the gametophytes that briefly exist after spore germination of ferns have been reported, but there is a lack of high-quality color photographs. This book presents over 700 color photographs and concise English-Chinese descriptions, providing a vivid and intuitive display of the morphological characteristics of sporophytes, sporophylls, mature sori, and gametophytes of ferns in Yunnan. The book compiles important information on the taxonomy, morphology, reproductive biology, and ecology of ferns, serving as a reference for researchers, educators, and professionals in plant science, agriculture, forestry, horticulture, and related disciplines.
