A checklist of the pteridophytes occurrence in Ecological Reserve of Jangadinha, in the municipality of Jaboatão dos Guararapes was made as a contribution to the study of remnant area of Atlantic Forest of Pernambuco, Brazil. Auto-ecology information about the species are included. Collections were made in five points of the Reserve, namely Banho-Frio -1, Banho-Frio - II, Área do Açude, Área do Reservatório and Mata do Curado. Twenty-five species of the following 14 families were recognized: Schizaeaceae (2 spp.), Gleicheniaceae (2 spp.), Hymenophyllaceae (1 sp.), Cyatheaceae (1 sp.), Pteridaceae (7 spp.), Vittariaceae (1 sp.), Dennstaedtiaceae (2 spp.), Thelypteridaceae (2 spp.), Dryopteridaceae (1 sp.), Davalliaceae (lsp.), Blechnaceae (1 p.), Polypodiaceae (2 spp.), Lycopodiaceae (1 sp.) and Selaginellaceae (1 sp.). Pteridophytes occurred in all points studied. Banho-Frio-I was richer in species than the other places, and Mata do Curado is relatively poor. The microhabitat with most species were those enclosed inside the forest and their edge, mainly in the humid slopes.
