Our inventory of ferns and similar plants present in Banderilla, Veracruz, Mexico, focused on cloud forest relicts. We report 130 species belonging to 24 families and 49 genera of such plants in Banderilla, representing about 21% of the pteridophyte flora of the state. This species richness is remarkable considering the small size of the municipality (22.21km2 or 0.03% of the area of the state).
