Abstract

Thylacopteris minuta (Polypodiaceae) was discovered in the Khoun Lang Cave Nature Park in Vientiane Province, Laos. This discovery, together with the second recent report from Myanmar, suggests that species of Thylacopteris occur in scattered limestone localities in mainland Southeast Asia, indicating that further surveys across the region are needed.
