Taxonomy

A global phylogeny of Asplenium published in 2020 divided the genus into eleven clades,[1] which were given informal names pending further taxonomic study. A. daucifolium belongs to the "Neottopteris clade", members of which generally have somewhat leathery leaf tissue. It formed a clade with A. mauritiensis.[2]
