Konrad H. Christ first described this species in 1895, under the name Davallia friderici-et-pauli. This is the basionym of the accepted name Acrosorus friderici-et-pauli, published by Edwin Copeland in 1906.[1] Christ later caused some confusion over the use of the epithet friderici-et-pauli. In 1896, he published the name Polypodium friderici-et-pauli for a different species. This is the basionym of the accepted name Archigrammitis friderici-et-pauli, published by Barbara S. Parris in 2013.[3] In 1904, Christ again published the name Polypodium friderici-et-pauli, this time making reference to Davallia.[4] Hence Polypodium friderici-et-pauli Christ (1904) is an illegitimate synonym of this species, Acrosorus friderici-et-pauli, and not of Archigrammitis friderici-et-pauli.[1][3]
