[this study found evidence for a close phylogenetic affinity between this species as Microsorum scolopendria and M. papuanum within a clade sister to the group of Microsorum punctatum; since M. scolopendria is the type species of Phymatosorus one "taxonomic solution" will be to include this genus within Microsorus].
