Abstract

TRIANA-MORENO, Luz A.  and  CORTES-MOLINA, Julio G.. New records of ferns and lycophytes from the department of Tolima in Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.2, pp.12-20. ISSN 0124-5376.  https://doi.org/10.21068/c2018.v19n02a02.

The presence of 22 species of seed-free vascular plants is documented for the first time in the department of Tolima, Colombia, mainly as a result of the revision of specimens in the herbarium of the Universidad de Caldas (FAUC). Eight of these species extended their range of altitudinal distribution. The endemic species Luisma bivascularis (Polypodiaceae) is highlighted due the extension of its geographic and elevational distributions, previously restricted to its type locality, and because a new habit was recorded for it.

Keywords : Andes; Flora; Luisma bivascularis; Seed-free vascular plants.
