Prodromus of a fern flora for Bolivia. III. Selaginellaceae

We provide a synopsis to the lycophyte family Selaginellaceae in Bolivia. The single genus in the family, Selaginella , comprises 36 known species in Bolivia, of perhaps 200+ in the Neotropics. Five species are known only from Bolivia ( S. alampeta , S. angustifolia , S. bryophila , S. glossophylla , and S. solomonii ), and several others are poorly represented in collections, indicating a need for further studies and additional collections.
