In the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I), the genus is placed in the subfamily Lycopodioideae. [2] Some sources do not recognize the genus, sinking it into Lycopodium . [3] Pseudodiphasium volubile is native from Peninsular Malaysia to Queensland, Australia, and has been introduced into Ecuador. [1]

Taxonomy

Josef Ludwig Holub formally raised this group to the status of genus as Pseudodiphasium in 1983. [4]
