Abstract
Austroblechnum bullatum, a new species from Colombia, is described and illustrated. This fern is characterized by having pendulous laminae, rachis abundantly covered with hairs up to 2.5 mm long, and pinnae bullate on both surfaces. In addition, the distribution range is extended for A. aequatoriense, a species previously known from northern Ecuador, and now also recorded for Colombia. Lastly, an identification key for the nine Colombian species of Austroblechnum is presented.
