Four new records for the Honduran flora and a preliminary checklist of pteridophytes and lycophytes for the Río Plátano Man and Biosphere Reserve, Honduras

Background and Aims: The group of pteridophytes and lycophytes has been understudied in Honduras, which can be observed in the Río Plátano Man and Biosphere Reserve (RPHBR) that only has 44 species reported. The objective of this study is to present a preliminary list of these groups, counting the s...

description Background and Aims: The group of pteridophytes and lycophytes has been understudied in Honduras, which can be observed in the Río Plátano Man and Biosphere Reserve (RPHBR) that only has 44 species reported. The objective of this study is to present a preliminary list of these groups, counting the species found in archaeological sites within the department of Gracias a Dios and presenting four new records for the flora of Honduras.Methods: As part of floristic inventories realized between August 2016 and September 2017, a total of 58 species of pteridophytes and lycophytes not previously reported for the RPHBR were collected and identified in the municipality of Brus Laguna, the species names were updated, and the species present in the protected area were cataloged.Key results: The ferns reported for the RPHBR increased to 103 species, which represents an increase of 131% and three new records of the genus Tectaria and one of Adiantum are added for Honduras.Conclusions: The diversity of these groups stands out in little altered areas within the RPHBR, especially along the rivers. However, there is also a lack of information in the areas close to the towns, that are currently altered and need protection and research.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: El grupo de pteridófitas y licófitas ha sido poco estudiado en Honduras, esto se ve reflejado en la Reserva del Hombre y Biosfera del Río Plátano (RHBRP) al solo tener reportadas 44 especies. El objetivo del presente estudio es presentar un listado preliminar de estos grupos, contabilizando las especies encontradas en sitios arqueológicos dentro del departamento Gracias a Dios y presentar cuatro nuevos registros para la flora de Honduras.Métodos: Como parte de los inventarios florísticos desarrollados entre agosto 2016 y septiembre 2017, se colectaron e identificaron en el municipio Brus Laguna un total de 58 especies de pteridófitas y licófitas no reportados previamente para la RHBRP, se actualizaron los nombres de las especies y se catalogaron las especies presentes en el área protegida.Resultados clave: Se incrementan a 103 especies los helechos reportados para la RHBRP, lo cual representa un aumento de 131%, y se suman tres nuevos registros del género Tectaria y uno de Adiantum, para Honduras.Conclusiones: Destaca la diversidad de estos grupos en zonas poco alteradas dentro de la RHBRP, especialmente en los ríos; sin embargo, también se observó un vacío de información en las zonas cercanas a los pueblos, áreas alteradas en la actualidad con necesidad de protección e investigación.
