Rhizoma filiforme, repens, ramosum, parce hirsutura. Stipes 

 0-5-r5 cm. altus, in superiori dimidio alatus, ala supra latasensim 

 deorsum angustanti denticulatula, infra parce hirsutus. Froiis 

 1-2 cm. longa et 1-1-5 era. lata, irregulariter ovato-oblonga vel 

 rhoraboidea, pinnatifida, pinnis subflabellatis, in segmenta plus 

 minus ve elongata sinuato-denticulata divisa, denticulis ssepe 

 elongatis, angustis, et sursum curvatis, apice rotundato interdum 

 emarginato; rhachis parce hirsuta , late alata, ala integra vel 

 denticulata; cellulse elongatae, muris percrassis, levibus. Sori 

 solitarii in segmento angustato prope apicem ; indusium basi 

 infundibuliforme, nudum, supra in duas labias profunde divisuni, 

 labiis apice subacutis vel anguste rotundatis, integris vel sub- 

 integris. Receptaculum validum, plus minusve longe exsertum. 



On rocks, mixed with Trichomanes minutuni and Hepatics, 

 Frenchman's Creek, near Babinda; July, 1913. 



Very similar to H. prcetervisum, but the stipes is distinctly 

 winged in the upper half, and the whole of the frond is pinnatifid 

 down to a widely winged rhachis; the segments also, for the most 

 part, are longer, and the denticulations are often strikingly 

 elongated; the sori, too, never seem to be clustered at the apex, 

 as in H. prcBtervisunn.
