Vandenboschia is a fern genus in the family Hymenophyllaceae. The genus is accepted in the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) but not by some other sources.

Taxonomy

The genus Vandenboschia was erected by Edwin Copeland in 1938.[1] Its status, like other genera in the family Hymenophyllaceae, remains disputed. The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I) accepts the genus, saying that there are about 15 species.[2] As of October 2019, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World listed 25 species and one hybrid,[1] whereas Plants of the World Online subsumed the genus into Trichomanes.[3]

Species

As of October 2019, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World accepted the following species and hybrids:[1]
