Platycerium ridleyi Christ., a tropical fern, is a new record for Sarawak. It has been recorded from the peat swamp forest of Sadong Jaya, Kota Samarahan, Loagan Bunut National Park, Miri and Maludam National Park, Sri Aman. It is a spectacular and attractive epiphytic fern of the peat swamp forest. It possessed two types of leaves, the nest and the foliage leaves. The foliage leaves produceda dichotomous branching,erect and each producesa fertile spoon-shaped lobe where the spores are found. The taxonomic characteristic of this fern is described.
