In various fern species, a large amount ofrbcLsequence variation has been reported, and it is possible that these species contain several reproductively isolated cryptic species. In our previous study onAsplenium nidusL., it was suggested that the plants growing in Mt. Halimun National Park, West Java, Indonesia, consist of several cryptic species based on the results of crossing experiments amongrbcLsequence types. In this study, we examined allozyme polymorphisms of fiverbcLsequence types found in West Java in order to test the hypothesis that the assemblages ofA. nidusdelimited based on therbcLsequences are separate Mendelian populations and gene flow is disrupted by reproductive isolation from one another. The calculated fixation indices suggested that the individuals in eachrbcLtype are randomly crossing at least in the investigated localities. Nevertheless, theserbcL-based assemblages were genetically differentiated in allozymes that are encoded in their nuclear genomes, and it is also suggested that gene flow is disrupted even between sympatrically distributed pairs ofrbcLsequence types. Therefore, our findings support the view that the fiverbcLsequence types in West Java are potential cryptic species.
