Abstract
Asplenium iskardense, A. kukkonenii, A. semivarians, A. x chasei, A. x dirense, A. x hopei, A. x lacei, and A. x afghanicum are newly described. New combinations include A. caucasicum, and A. tenuicaule var. subvarians; new varietal status under A. lepidum is given to A. haussknechtii. Cytological information on A. aitchisonii is corrected. Comments are given on ten taxa treated in Ching and Wu (1985). Lectotypes are chosen for A. yunnanense, A. moupinense, A. moupinense var. dareiformis, A. ruta-muraria var. subtenuifolium, A. pekinense and A. altajense.
