Elaphoglossum trichomallum Rovirosa, Pteridogr. Sur México 252. 1909. Type. México. Chiapas: L. Martínez 1101 “in his herb.”

The combination of cited characters (creeping rhizomes, scales reddish, linear-lanceolate, crisped sparse piliform scales on both sides of blades, stipes 14–22 mm, with gold-castaneous subulate scales, blades 27–39 X 3–6 cm, elongate lanceolate, papyraceous, attenuate at both ends; fertile fronds with blades 21 X 2 cm, costal scales similar to those of stipes, epiphytic) suggests it may be E. setigerum, but we have not located a type specimen.
