See text Hymenophyton is a genus of the order Pallaviciniales (liverworts) containing one to three species.
The genus was formerly described as monotypic, as each member possesses a close morphological resemblance, but phytochemical and molecular evidence now supports an infrageneric classification two separate species.
The name Hymenophyton leptopodum, regarded as a synonym of Hymenophyton flabellatum, has been resurrected.
[2] A population found in Chile is regarded as a separate clade, and the reinstatement of Hymenophyton pedicellatum has been proposed.
