About

Hypolepis poeppigii is a fern species in the family Dennstaedtiaceae that has no common name. It is native to Chile and the Falkland Islands.

It was first described by German botanist Georg Heinrich Mettenius, but his description was not considered validly published, and American botanist William Ralph Maxon later described the species in a valid publication.
