201. Goniophlebium Pringlei W. R. Macon in Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 
XXVII (1904), p. 953, pl. XLVII. 
Rhizome creeping, very firm, flexuose, slender, about 4 mm thick, 
densely clothed with appressed dirty-white lanceolate acuminate brownish- 
centered chaff, and with rather sparse very dark brown lanose rootlets: 
frond glabrous throughout, about 5 dm long: stipe 1 dm long, stramineous, 
firm, terete, polished, very slender (only 1 mm thick): lamina ovate, 
4 dm long, about 2 dm broad below the middle, thin membranaceo- 
chartaceous, very translucent, comprising 11 pairs of subopposite entire 
narrowly lanceolate tapering acute-pointed pinnae which decrease gra- 
dually above, giving rise to a terminal caudate division nearly equal in 
size to the largest pinnae; lowermost pinnae 9 cm long by 2,3 cm 
broad, subcordate and free below, fully adnate and dilated above into a 
foliar wing 5 mm deep from sinus to rachis and connecting with the 
second pair of pinnae which with the third pair are the longest (about 
10 cm); succeeding pinnae gradually shorter, similarly dilated both above 
and below to form a continuous slightly broadening soriferous wing, the 
sinuses obtuse, rounded; venation manifest; sori, orbicular, large, about 
15 pairs to the pinna, nearer the midrib than the margin; each sorus 
borne on the single included veinlet of the broad initial areole which 
extends half the distance to the margin; ultimate venation irregularly 
anastomose, very rarely with an included veinlet.
