Abstract

Taxonomic novelties and changes to Indian Pteridophytes are given briefly here in taxonomic order according to the forthcoming Annotated Checklist of Indian Pteridophytes vol. 3, nearing completion for Summer 2020. We have divided it into two parts, the present first part is from the main text re Families treated in vol. 3, the second part will be from the Appendix of corrections and additions to the previous volumes.  Further details of the taxa and references will be given in vol. 3.
