The Centello Reserve is located in the municipality of Jardin in southwest Antioquia, about 120 km from Medellín, Colombia. Located on the eastern slope of the western Andes (Cordillera Occidental) and ranging from 1,800 to 2,700 m, El Centello covers 160 hectares, of which 115 hectares are managed for conservation. Since 2013, the Medellin Botanic Garden Foundation acquired the property. The reserve has several endangered species of plants, and it is an important area for the spectacled Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus). Although well known for its Magnolia diversity, the fern and lycophyte diversity of this reserve is relatively understudied. The following list is compiled from the collections that a group of fern and lycophyte experts made in 2016. This is a work in progress. In the future, we hope to add more collections and species. If you would like to contribute to the project, please get in touch!
Helechos y licofitas de la Reserva El Centello, Jardín, Antioquia, Colombia
La Reserva El Centello está ubicada en el municipio de Jardín en el suroeste Antioqueño, aproximadamente a 120 km de Medellín, en Colombia. Situada en la vertiente oriental de la cordillera Occidental de los Andes, El Centello abarca 160 hectáreas, de las cuales 115 son bosque conservado, con elevaciones que van desde los 1.800 y hasta los 2.700 msnm. Desde el 2013, El Centello es propiedad de la Fundación Jardín Botánico de Medellín. La reserva tiene varias especies de plantas en peligro de extinción, y es una importante región para el oso Andino (Tremarctos ornatus). Conocida por su diversidad de magnolias, la diversidad de helechos y licofitos de esta reserva está relativamente poco estudiada. La siguiente lista se deriva de las colecciones que un grupo de botánicos expertos en helechos y licofitas hicimos en la reserva en 2016. Esta lista es un trabajo en curso! esperamos agregar más colecciones y especies en un futuro. Si quieres contribuir con el proyecto, ¡ponte en contacto!

This species belongs to one of the most taxonomically difficult groups of Elaphoglossum, the section Elaphoglossum. One of the main characters of this section is the absence of scales except often for some minute blackish trichomidia on the blades or a few scales on...
This is another of the species of Elaphoglossum with white patches in the leaves. These white patches are actually a fungus of the Trechisporales (Agaricomycetes), a clade otherwise comprising resupinate and crust forming saprophytes. Within the genus Elaphoglossum,...
The white patches in this fern belong to a fungus of the Trechisporales (Agaricomycetes), a clade otherwise comprising resupinate and crust forming saprophytes. In the genus Elaphoglossum, these fungi occur primarily in a clade of ca. 14 species within Elaphoglossum...
Elaphoglossum bellermannianum belongs to Elaphoglossum subsection Muscosa. It can be distinguished by its oblong laminae, scales on the petioles and laminae, fertile leaves twice as long as the sterile, and papillate...
The leaves of Thelypteris pteroidea are elongate and scandent upon nearby vegetation. The retrorse pinnules presumably act as hooks.
