Read about Hymenophyllum in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Hymenophyllum (Greek, membrane-leaf). Hymenophyllaceae. Like all members of the family, the species are small and with lvs. of very delicate texture; the sporangia are borne in marginal sori protected by 2-lipped cup-like indusium; otherwise the species are like those of Trichomanes, the other large genus of the family.—A genus of about 240 species, nearly all of which are tropical. Culture p. 1214. H. dichranotichum, Sadeb. (H. chiloense, Hook.). A.S. American species with triangular lvs. 2-4 in. long, 1 in. broad, bipinnatifid with rounded segms.; the margins and under surfaces hairy. Gn. 74, p. 228.-H. fucoides, Swartz. A common Trop. American species with oblong lvs., 6-10 in. long, 1 ½ - 2 in. broad, tripinnatifid, the rachis and mid-veins of the pinnae winged, the ultimate segms. linear, spinulose. Gn. 74, p. 228. L. M.
