Notes on two species of Thelypteris Schmidel (Thelypteridaceae - Pterophyta) from BrazilDuring the taxonomic study of the Thelypteridaceae from southeastern Brazil was founded Thelypteris polypodioides (Raddi) C. F. Reed and Thelypteris villosa (Link) C. F. Reed, two rare and poorly known species. The taxonomic position of these species is uncertain. This study presents key, descriptions, illustrations, data on geographical distribution, and comments for both species, as well as comments on taxonomic affinity between the two species and Thelypteris subgenera.
