Approximately 65 genera and 200 species of pteridophytes (ferns and fern-allies) make up one-seventh of the Hawaiian higher plant species and constitute a major segment of the vegetation. Many of the species are poorly known and many are rare, threatened, or endangered. There are numerous systematic and distributional questions about these plants, and a modern survey and inventory of them is urgently needed. This will involve a comprehensive assessment of existing collections and detailed studies of the current populations in the wild, including new collections and data on habitats. The results of the inventory will form the basis of a much-needed manual of Hawaiian ferns and fern-allies to parallel recent volumes on the flowering plants. Surveys will be made on the main islands of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Hawaii. The resulting specimens will be processed at the University of Michigan and the Bishop Museum, and duplicates distributed to other appropriate herbaria. A scientifically new manual will facilitate numerous studies of biodiversity, evolution, and plant dispersal. Conservationally the results will influence the preservation of species and natural areas.

蕨类植物约65属200种 占夏威夷高等植物的七分之一 物种并构成植被的主要部分。 许多 这些物种知之甚少，许多是稀有的，受威胁的，或 濒临灭绝 有许多系统的和分布式的 关于这些植物的问题，以及现代调查和库存， 他们是迫切需要的。 这将涉及全面的 评估现有收藏品和详细研究 目前的野生种群，包括新的收集和数据 关于栖息地。 清查的结果将构成下列工作的基础： 一本急需的夏威夷蕨类植物手册 最近几卷关于开花植物的书 调查将在 主要岛屿考艾岛、奥陶洛斯岛、莫洛凯岛、拉奈岛、毛伊岛和夏威夷。 产生的标本将在大学处理。 密歇根州和主教博物馆，并将副本分发给其他人 适当的植物标本库。 一本新的科学手册将有助于 许多关于生物多样性、进化和植物扩散的研究。 保守地说，这一结果将影响 物种和自然界。
