Abstract

Following many years of detailed research in the field and in all relevant herbaria a comprehensive annotated checklist of pteridophytes of the Indian State of Arunachal Pradesh has been prepared listing all specimens we have seen and verified. As this work is now nearly complete, but will still take some time to enter new collections made over the last 3 years or so, we present here for the first time a simple list of all the species and subspecies we have verified from Arunachal Pradesh in advance of our main paper.  Full details of the taxa, synonymy and range are given in The Annotated Checklist of Indian Pteridophytes vols. 1-3 (Fraser-Jenkins et al., 2016-2020).  It is emphasised that the presence of a species has been indicated only after having seen and listed collections examined and re-identified by CRFJ.
