Taxonomy

Circumscribed by mycologists Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1868, they considered the genus to combine the characteristics of Hymenogramme and Grandinia.[1] The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words γραμμή ("line" or "written character") and θηλή ("nipple").[2]

Grammothele originally contained four species: G. polygramma, G. grisea, G. mappa, and the type, G. lineata.[1] Modern taxonomic opinion now considers the first three of these to be synonymous with the latter.[3]
