Abstract

Research in the genus Tectaria Cav. from the Neotropics have uncovered two new species in the T. incisa Cav. complex, here are described as T. lacinifolia A. Rojas & D. Sanín and T. pardalina A. Rojas. The first species differs from T. incisa because have apically ciliate rhizome scales, basiscopically laciniate basal pinnae, rhomboid terminal pinna and laciniate margin. The second species differs from T. incisa by less pinnae pairs, commonly broadly elliptic pinnae, sparsely hairy abaxially laminar tissue, sori in (2-) 3-5 irregular series between the lateral veins and distributed at higher elevations. The specimens were deposited in the CR, COL, FAUC, HUA, MO and USJ herbaria.
