Abstract
Formosan ferns from 17 families, representing 50 genera, 115 species, 1 subspecies, and 3 varieties, have been screened by the bioassay for phytoecdysones. A total of 64 species and 2 varieties have been found to show distinct insect moulting hormone activity. Correlation between this hormone activity and taxonomy of ferns is discussed.Keywords
