Pteridophytes; with an independent gametophyte and sporophyte; were probably the first of the land plants that originated on earth. With the passage of time these unique plants established and flourished on land and were once the dominating vegetation on earth. However, with the large scale change in climatic conditions, these plants unable to cope with the prevailing environment, started vanishing gradually. Pteridophytes; having enormous ornamental value, as tools of research in genetical and reproductive biology, for their role in forest productivity, need much more attention. This volume contains ten research papers and reviews on various aspects of pteridophytes by eminent pteridologists of the country not only highlighting the achievements, but also pointing out the areas where lot of work needs to be done.
