Resumen

This paper presents an analysis of fern spore rain at Pedregulho, Estação Experimental de Itirapina, Itirapina, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The collectors were placed at 0.5 and 1.5 m above soillevel and a study of the samples of the fem spores at these two heights was carried out. Spore rain was collected monthly in four localities: cerradão, cerrado, gallery forest and a disturbed area. Spores of 13 taxa were present in the spore rain from the 0.5m collector and 15 from the 1.5m collectór. Spores of some taxa were present in both collectors, but some taxa were specific in one collector only. In general, in all localities and at the two heights lhe highest percentage of spores was collected in the summer months. It was conc1uded that the two collector heights produce complementary data.
