ABSTRACT
This paper is a floristic survey of the families Anemiaceae, Aspleniaceae, Cyatheaceae, and Lygodiaceae of the Ecological Station of Panga, and provides the taxonomic treatment for its species. The Ecological Station of Panga covers an area of 409.5 ha, and is located about 30 km to the South of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, between the geographical coordinates 19º09'20"-19º11'10" S and 48º23'20"-48º24'35" W, at 740-840 m altitude. The area represents a good remnant of the natural vegetation of the region, presenting different savanna and forest physiognomies. We present here the taxonomic treatments for four families and eight species. Identification keys, descriptions, illustrations of diagnostics characters of the families and species, geographical distribution, and comments are presented.
