This work presents a commented checklist of the Colombian species of Pecluma M.G. Price (Polypodiaceae). The morphological variability of the genus in Colombia is analized; comments for its easy recognition and keys for the species and varieties are presented. For each taxon, the original publication, nomenclatural types, synonyms, habitat, geographic distribution, pertinent comments, reference specimens, figures and maps are presented. In addition, the etymologies of most of the epithets are explained. As a result of this revision P. absidata was transferred to the synonymy of P. curvans; the species P. pastazensis, P. pilosa, and P. robusta were recorded for the first time to Colombia, and P. paradiseae is rediscovered in the country.

Keywords : ferns; flora of Colombia; Pecluma; Polypodiaceae.
