Lepidomicrosorium


Lepidomicrosorium is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, with a single species, Lepidomicrosorium subhastatum, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016. Other sources do not accept the genus, submerging it into Tricholepidium, with Lepidomicrosorium subhastatum becoming Tricholepidium buergerianum Fraser-Jenk.
