Abstract
As a result of taxonomic studies on Aspleniaceae from Brazil, nine lectotypes are designated and seven new synonyms are proposed. A new combination, Asplenium balansae (Baker) Sylvestre is presented. The taxonomic status of Asplenium geraense (C. Chr.) Sylvestre and Asplenium trindadense(Brade) Sylvestre was changed. Comments on distribution and occurrence of some taxa are presented.
