Abstract
The presence of Goniopteris schaffneri (Fée) Salino & T.E.Almeida, comb. nov. and Marattia laxa Kunze is reported for the first time for the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. This note gives the descriptions of both species and information on the types of vegetation where they were found. The Marattia laxa record is particularly important as the species is currently included in the NOM (Mexican Official Standards) as “subject to special protection.”
