RESUMO
Chilean Plants Cytogenetic Database (CPCD) is a resource available online in electronic format, providing a cytogenetics catalog for continental and insular Chilean plants that are representative of the floras of the Southern Cone. In the last update carried out in 2021, we increased the cytogenetic data for 499 Chilean native species, and from here on we will include a new section with chromosome number data for 683 exotic species classified as invaders in Chile. Aspects on the coverage, features, and uses of the CPCD are presented here, including background information accumulated since its inception in 2010 to the present. With the new update, the database currently stores cytogenetic information for species belonging to the divisions Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Pinophyta, and Magnoliophyta, thus contributing to the largest community resource on plant cytogenetics in the world.

During a botanical exploration in the Los Ruiles National Reserve (Chile), a population of Hymenophyllumcaudatum Bosch was identified. Fronds were found at the base of a rock, under a hygrophilous vegetation cover, in a ravine (35°49'56.49"S -72°30'42.44"W). The finding in this wilderness area extends the distribution by 120 km northwards on the mainland, which until now was limited to the coastal area of the city of Concepción (36°47'07.86"). This contribution presents an observed specimen, the site of the find and the accompanying species.
RESUMO
Chilean Plants Cytogenetic Database (CPCD) is a resource available on line in electronic format, which provides a cytogenetics catalogue for continental and insular Chilean vascular plants. In this report, we made reference to the CPCD, discussing aspects on its coverage, features and usages. Currently, the database stores cytogenetic information for 247 species, 107 genera, and 55 families belonging to Pteridophyta, Pinophyta, and Magnoliophyta.
