Discusión taxonómica
This is the only simple-bladed Ceradenia, and the only one that lacks rhizome scales. It superficially resembles, but is not closely related to, Enterosora parietina, which lacks the peculiar soral paraphyses, has golden brown rhizome scales 0.5–0.8 mm long, and has laminar setae that tend to be clustered around and through the sori.A
