Taxonomic note
According to Chamberlain (1983) and Schneider & Wynne (2007: 202), this is congeneric with Pneophyllum Kützing. Chamberlain (1983: 312) notes that Setchell & Mason (1943) designated H. subtilissima (Foslie) Foslie as the type species, without actually seeing a specimen and that examination of the type specimen shows it to be a minute Pneophyllum. - (11 October 2010) - G.M.
