A new species, Blechnum fuscosquamosum A.Rojas (Blechnaceae) from the Neotropics is here described. It is distinguished from B. fragile (Liebm.) C.V.Morton & Lellinger by its shorter (5-10 mm vs. 8-15 mm), brown to dark brown (vs. brown-yellowish) rhizome scales with acute apex (vs. long attenuate apex), lanceolate to linear-lanceolate (vs. long attenuate) blade, 25-35 pinna pairs [vs. (35-) 40-80 pairs], relatively longer (4-6.5 cm vs. 2.8-5.0 cm) pinnae, 1.5-3.0 mm wide [(vs. 1.0-1.5 (-2.0) mm] fertile pinnae and distribution at higher elevations (2400-3000 m vs. 800-2100 m).
