Tapeinidium is a genus of ferns in the family Lindsaeaceae, consisting of about 19 species. ^[1] These species are native to southeastern Asia, ranging from Thailand to New Guinea, and into the western Pacific. ^[2] Tapeinidium pinnatum has also been introduced into India. ^[3]

Phylogeny

The group was first described by Carl Presl in 1851 as a subgenus, Microlepia subg. Tapeinidium. It was raised to the rank of genus by Carl Christensen in 1906. ^[4] As of December 2019 ^[update] , the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species: ^[1]
