Abstract

Twelve taxa of genus Blechnum were selected to study: B. arcuatum, B. asplenioides, B. australe subsp. australe, B. australe subsp. hastatum, B. glandulosum subsp. glandulosum, B. glandulosum subsp. austrobrasilianum, B. gracile, B. levigatum, B. lanceola, B. meridense, B. occidentale and B. polypodioides. An updated description of all taxa, their taxonomy, geographical distribution and ecology are given, two new combinations (B. australe subsp. hastatum and B. glandulosum subsp. austrobrasilianum) are proposed, and a key to identify them is provided.
