Discusión taxonómica
This species is close to E. vestitum in the skeletonized blade scales and the general laxness of the fronds, but differs in several features. Elaphoglossum auricomum lacks caudate blade tips, the rhizome scales are not as dark, and the stipes are densely covered with spreading orange scales. It also resembles E. paleaceum, but the rhizome scales are dark orange or maroon, not black as usually
found in E. paleaceum, and the blade scales are more sparse and more highly dissected than in that species. Some specimens have very short stipes, but apparently this character is quite variable in E. auricomum.
