Abstract

An updated synopsis of the genus Hypolepis (Dennstaedtiaceae) from Argentina is presented, including the first report of H. stolonifera var. stolonifera for the country and the description of a new variety: Hypolepis stolonifera var. delasotae, named in honour of pteridologist Elías Ramón de la Sota. Four taxa are recognised in Argentina: Hypolepis poeppigii, H. rugosula subsp. poeppigiana, and Hypolepis stolonifera with var. delasotae and var. stolonifera; Hypolepis repens is excluded from the Argentinian flora.
