About 9-13 cm. high. Caudex short, ascending, thick with the many 

 bases of the old stipes ; roots black. Stipes tufted, erect, articuldate below 

 the middle, rufous but castaneous-rufoua below, glossy, scaly, about 3-5 cm. 

 long; scales isahel-coloured, thinly membranaceous, sharply acuminate, the 

 lower ones lanceolate ovato-laiuceolate or subulato-lanceolate, the superior ones 

 linear-hirsute. Frond broadly lanceolate, longer than the stipe, bipinnati- 

 parted, paleaceo-hirsute beneath, 5-8 cm. long, li-2 cm. broad ; pinnae sub- 

 coriaceous, spreading, alternate or subopposite, oblong-ovate, obtuse, cuneato- 

 truncate and sessile at the base, pinnati-parted, the middle ones larger; 

 pinnules nearly patent, 4-5 on each side, ovate or elliptical-ovate, obtuse, 

 more or less reflexed and obscurely crenate on margin ; veinlets free, usual- 

 ly forked ; rachis clothed with paleaceo-hirsute scales. Sori intramarginal,

 form of scales at the base of stipe, the size of indusium, the state of artic- 

 ulation of the stipe, etc.
