Taxonomy

Trichomanes elegans was first described by Louis Claude Richard in 1792. Two other species were later called Trichomanes elegans:

• Trichomanes elegans Poir. is an illegitimate synonym of Davallia denticulata (Burm.) Mett.
• Trichomanes elegans Rudge is an illegitimate synonym of Trichomanes diversifrons (Bory) Mett.
