Phegopteris decursivepinnata harbors diploid and tetraploid strains, forming a polyploid species complex together with P. koreana. Hybridization and polyploidization in the complex blur species boundaries, making it challenging to apply the proper taxonomic treatment. Ploidy determinations, phylogenetic analyses, and morphological investigations to elucidate the origins of the polyploid species and improve species classification for the P. decursivepinnata species complex are reported. Ploidy determinations and phylogenetic analyses revealed that diploid members of the complex were separated into two groups, a diploid P. decursivepinnata and a group consisting of Thelypteris itoana and a diploid P. koreana. The tetraploid P. decursivepinnata was shown to be an allotetraploid derived from hybridization between the two diploid groups. The samples of P. koreana revealed to be diploid suggested intraspecific cytotypic variation in P. koreana. The diploid P. koreana was genetically and morphologically indistinguishable from the diploid T. itoana. The diploid members of the complex previously treated as P. decursivepinnata are described as a new species, P. taiwaniana; and T. itoana is placed in synonymy under P. koreana.

Asplenium serratipinnae (Aspleniaceae: Polypodiales), an allotetraploid species between the diploid race of A. normale and A. oligophlebium is described as new. It is endemic to Japan and morphologically most similar to A. normale, but differs in having narrower pinnae with an auriculate to hastate acroscopic base and deeply serrated margins.

Haplopteris mediosora (Hayata) X. C. Zhang (Pteridaceae), a fern with linear simple fronds is widely distributed at high elevations from the Himalayas through China, the Philippines and Taiwan to Japan. In Japan, sporophytes of H. mediosora were recorded only from Azusa-shiraiwa, a mountain of Okuchichibu region, and have not been seen for over 50 years. The hypothesis that such rare species still persist as gametophytes was proven during this study when gametophytes were found on several mountains in the Oku-chichibu region. Phylogenetic analysis of rbcL sequences collected in this study demonstrated that the gametophytes, identified as H. mediosora, and sporophytes of H. mediosora formed a clade and were distinct from related species of Haplopteris. The gametophytes were also growing independently because of the absence of sporophytes. A comparison of the haplotypes of the matK and trnL-F regions showed that the gametophytes had two chloroplast DNA haplotypes. The polymorphisms may have been derived from ancestral sporophytes that were present in Japan during the glacial period. Despite the rarity of sporophytes in the area, the independent gametophytes occur in four distant localities in the Oku-chichibu mountains.
