The new records are: Abrodictyum rigidum, Blechnum divergens, Bolbitis hastata, Cyathea decurrentiloba, Diplazium ternatum, Hemidictyum marginatum, Lindsaea arcuata, Mickelia bernoullii, M. hemiotis, Moranopteris taenifolia, Polyphlebium hymenophylloides, Polypodium echinolepis, and Pteris biaurita. A table with data from the records, illustrations of the species, and a distribution map are provided.
