Abstract

This work presents the survey of lycophytes and ferns from the Parque Metropolitano de Pituaçu, Salvador, Bahia State. The 36 registered species belong to 22 genera and 14 families. The most representative families were Pteridaceae, with 11 species in five genera (Acrostichum, Adiantum, Pityrogramma, Pteris and Vittaria), and Thelypteridaceae, with six species in two genera (Macrothelypteris and Thelypteris). The genera with higher number of species were Adiantum (6) and Thelypteris (5). The majority of the species was herbaceous and terrestrial. This is the first study addressing exclusively lycophytes and ferns in a urban forest remnant in Salvador City.
