Trichomanes elegans is a fern species in the family Hymenophyllaceae.[1] The name has also been used incorrectly for two different species. It has specialized plastids called 'iridoplasts', which give its leaves an iridescent blue color.[2]
Taxonomy
Trichomanes elegans was first described by Louis Claude Richard in 1792.[3] Two other species were later called Trichomanes elegans:
- Trichomanes elegans Poir. is an illegitimate synonym of Davallia denticulata (Burm.) Mett.[4]
- Trichomanes elegans Rudge is an illegitimate synonym of Trichomanes diversifrons (Bory) Mett.[5]
