Dicksonia timorense (Diksoniaceae), a hemi-epiphytic new species of tree fern endemic on Timor Island, Indonesia
Abstract
Dicksonia timorense B. Adjie is described and illustrated as an endemic new species from Timor Island, Indonesia. Population, hemi-epiphytic trait and phylogenetic relationship based on cpDNA sequences are discussed.
