Abstract
The following describes the morphology of the Spores of 68 recent Pteridophyta ferns, living in the Colombian territory and belonging to 12 genera of the Lycopodiaceae, Schizeaceae, Cyatheaceae, Pteridaceae and Parkeriaceae families. It also features the main characteristics of the ferns, data related to climatic condictions, altitud at which the plants grow and the locality where they were collected and collector name. All these data are produced together with drawings of the plants and different photographs of the spores taken from various perspectives.
