Microevolutionary patterns and processes of the Native Hawaiian colonizing fern Odontosoria chinensis (Lindsaeaceae).

Abstract excerpt

The vascular-plant flora of the Hawaiian Islands is characterized by one of the highest rates of species endemism in the world. Among flowering plants, approximately 89% of species are endemic, and among pteridophytes, about 76% are endemic. At the single-island level, however, rates of species endemism vary dramatically between these two groups with 80% of angiosperms and only 6% of pteridophytes being...
