Species

The genus was published by Robert Brown in 1810, along with the species Enchylaena tomentosa. A number of putative species have been published since then, but all bar one have been transferred into other genera, or given synonymy with E. tomentosa. The exception is Enchylaena lanata, published by Paul G. Wilson in 1984.

gollark: You should play on SwitchCraft. It has computers.
gollark: It's slightly weird that I know of several MTF trans people who are programmers but no FTM ones at all.
gollark: New clothes units of the kind I tend to wear cost slightly over £20, and America uses "dollars", which are worth less.
gollark: Also, that number is me picking a vaguely plausible round number, and I imagine they can be acquired more cheaply.
gollark: You don't need to repurchase them all every year.
