Taxonomy
Belvisia is a rather homogeneous genus of similar-looking plants, with the exception of B. novoguineensis. The number of taxa various authors have been able to distinguish has varied, between Christensen (1929), distinguishing 11 species and many forms and varieties, and more recent accounts. Hovenkamp & Franken (1993) recognise 8 species and 2 subspecies (6 and 1 occurring in Malesia). Belvisia novoguineensis is sometimes seen as intermediate to Lemmaphyllum.
Belvisia is close to Lepisorus, but is distinguished mainly by the coenosori.
