Abstract: Description of spore morphology of Korean Polypodiaceae has monad, monolete with bilateral symmetry, bipolar and oblete spore except for Loxogramme grammitoides having trilete spore with radial symmetry. In spore wall structure, exopore showed variable patterns enough ro distinguish genera. Perispore was found in all the species examined except Crypsinus, Pyrrosia hastata ans P. linearifolia. The perispores of Crypsinus, Pyrrosia hastata and P. linearifolia were echinate and gemmate, rugulate, and verrucate respectively. In term of exospore wall sculpturing, Polypodium and Loxogramme showed fossulate, Lepisorus, rugulate with irregular verrucate, Crypsinus ans Coloysis showed psilatem or rarely verrucate in the latter, Neocheiropteris ensata showed dense small verrucatem, Lemmaphyllum microphyllum showed complex reticulate and Pyrrosia showed verrucate or psilate.
