Nomenclatural note
Vis & Necchi (2021: 124) write: "This species is only known from the type locality. In the protologue, it was distinguished from T. gaudichaudii based on smaller carposporangia but measurements of T. gaudichaudii in Johnston et al. (2018) overlap (16%u201319 x 8%u20139 %u03BCm in T. siamensis and 14.2%u201323.1 x%u2002 6.8%u201311.8 %u03BCm in T. gaudichaudii). DNA sequence data should be obtained to determine if these species are synonymous since there are numerous species in Southeast Asia and Pacific Islands only distinguished by genetic variation." - (12 April 2022) - M.D. Guiry
