Adiantum philippense Linn. (Adiantaceae) is widely distributed in tropical, sub-tropical and warm temperate regions. Mostly apogamous triploid cytotype (2n=90) has been reported frequently from several localities in India. In the recent exploration of A. philippense species complex in Uttar Pradesh, India, the diploid (n=30) and tetraploid (n=60) cytotypes have been found. The morphological characters such as the lamina, pinna, spore size, and stoma were measured and compared. The clear difference was detected in spore size between the two cytotypes.
