This paper provides the taxonomic treatment for the Monilophytes focuses on Dennstaedtiaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Gleicheniaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, and Lindsaeaceae of the Ecological Station of Panga. This Ecological Station covers an area of 409.5 hectares and is sited about 30 Km to the south of the city of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, between the geographical coordinates 19º09'20"-19º11'10" S and 48º23'20"-48º24'35" W, at 740 to 840 m. The area is one of the few of the region with natural vegetation, with different savannah physiognomies and forest formations. One species of Dennstaedtiaceae (Pteridium arachnoideum (Kaulf.) Maxon), Gleicheniaceae (Dicranopteris flexuosa (Schrad.) Underw.), and Hymenophyllaceae (Trichomanes cristatum Kaulf.) and two species of Dryopteridaceae (Elaphoglossum perelegans (Fée) T. Moore, E. scalpellum (Mart.) T. Moore) and Lindsaeaceae (Lindsaea pallida Klotzsch., L. quadrangularis Raddi) were found.
