Abstract

Sticherus holttumii, a new species from Brazil, is here described, illustrated, and compared to its most similar species. Additionally, S. brevitomentosus is recorded for the first time in Brazil, based on a recent collection from Pico da Neblina National Park. We also provide an identification key to all species of Sticherus from the Brazilian Amazon.
