(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.
A population found in Chile is regarded as a separate clade, and the reinstatement of ''
Hymenophyton pedicellatum'' has been proposed.
