Description
New Records of Ferns from Northeastern Argentina and Uruguay.--Four records of ferns are reported here for the first time, two species for northeastern Argentina and two others for Uruguay. In addition, the occurrence of other species is documented with herbarium specimens for both countries. The new distribution records are supported by recent collections done by the authors and by specimens studied at CTES Herbarium. The collections that document the distribution extensions for Argentina come from Misiones. This area belongs to the Amazonian domain (Cabrera and Willink, Biogeografia de America Latina, Serie Biologia 13, Secretaria de la OEA, pp. 117. Washington D.C. 1973), and it represents the greatest center of pteridophyte diversity in Argentina (Ponce et al., Revista Chilena Hist. Nat. 75: 703-717. 2002). Uruguay is inside the "Chaqueno" phytogeographical domain, in the "Pampeana" province of Cabrera and Willink (1973), which is characterized principally by grass prairies. This country presents a high level of diversity of ligneous species, probably due to high variability of environments across short distances, and also because of sharing a connection with Brazil's southern flora. The floristic connection raises the possibility that many species should reach the limit of their natural distributions in Uruguay (Brussa and Grela, Flora arborea del Uruguay. Con enfasis en las especies de Rivera y Tacuarembo, pp. 65, COFUSA, Montevideo. 2007).
