ROJAS-ALVARADO, Alexander Francisco  and  CHAVES-FALLAS, José Miguel. New records of Pteris (Pteridaceae) from the Neotropics. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2014, vol.85, n.1, pp.301-303. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.36324.

As a result of studies on neotropical Pteris L., we report new records of Pteris albertiae and P. longifolia from Costa Rica; P. longipetiolulata from Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, and Venezuela; and P. muricatopedata from Mexico and Guatemala. The expanded distribution range and addition of species to biodiversity lists provide relevant information about the ecology and taxonomy of the species.

Keywords : distribution; ferns; Mesoamérica; Mexico; South America.
