FERNS AND LYCOPHYTES OF CELAQUE NATIONAL PARK,HONDURASK. PIĄTEK1 (author for correspondence: piatek@interia.eu) P. NAKS1, W.HEISE1, M. WAYDA1, O. REYES CALDERON2 & G. SANDOVAL21.

Celaque National Park is located within the Departments ofLempira, Ocotepeque and Copan. The park covers an area of about 266 km2 between1000 and 2870 m a.s.l. Topography is rugged, with over two-thirds of the land havinginclination greater than 60% and soils being sandy and shallow. Eleven major riversand a number of streams originate from Celaque. Forest formations vary withelevation: Pinus-Quercus forest occurs below 1800 m a.s.l., mixed broad-leaf/pinemountain forest between 1800 and 2200 m and cloud forest occurs above 2200 ma.s.l.This compendium is based on collections made during our recent survey of themontane cloud forests of Celaque and vicinity during March and April 2008.Additionally, we have included other known collections using Tropicos database(Tropicos.org. Missouri Botanical Garden. www.tropicos.org). Our collections are deposited in TEFH and KRA herbaria. Previous researchers’collections are deposited in MO. Nomenclature generally follows Mickel & Smith(2004), although we take the opportunity to include new combinations inPhlegmariurus and Pleopeltis that will be made by the indicated authors in the nearfuture.A total of 166 species in 59 genera are reported here for the park (Table 1).Twenty species are new additions to the park’s flora. Collections of other collectorsare listed only when a given species has not been found by us. Celaque is the highest peak in Honduras, and biogeographically it is an isolatedisland with cloud forest. It is important to preserve this environment because of itsfern richness (about a quarter of all known Honduran fern and lycophyte species(Nelson Sutherland et al. 1996)), its geographic isolation and potential for fernendemism (we found one undescribed species of Grammitis), and because of its roleas a source and/or destination area for long-distance dispersal of cloud forest fernspecies. This initiative is a collaborative effort of the Institute of Botany, JagiellonianUniversity and the Herbarium of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Honduras,with financial support from Jagiellonian University. This study would not have beenpossible without the support of several institutions and people to which we are mostgrateful. We thank the AFE-COHDEFOR and Area de Vida Silvestre for endorsingthe project, and Cyril Hardy Nelson Sutherland for his ongoing support. We alsoFERN GAZ. 19(1):11-23. 2012 11thank Alan R.
