Abstract

The Madeira archipelago vascular flora includes 74 pteridophyte taxa. Of these, 8 are exclusive endemics, 8 are Macaronesian endemics, being the vast majority, 44, native and 14 referred as introduced taxa. The total number of alien vascular plant taxa is 401 (33%). The recent detection of several fully naturalized alien fern taxa corresponds to an increase in the total number of naturalized fern taxa, a process parallel to that observed in other groups of vascular plants.

The occurrence of Pteris cretica L. var. albolineata Hooker and Goniophlebium subauriculatum (Blume) C. Presl as new naturalized was recorded for the first time for the island of Madeira.
