Abstract
In 1999, a dot grid mapping project based on the UTM 1 km2 grid, was carried out on Faial Island, Azores (Portugal). Distribution maps of the 52 species of pteridophytes and two hybrids found on the island are presented. Diphasiastrum madeirense, Asplenium x ticinense and Nephrolepis cordifolia are reported from the island for the first time. The status of each taxon on Faial was determined by intensive study of habitat, general distribution and literature.
