Type. Mns. Geol. Surv. India, Calcutta. 



Frond simple, varied in size, reaching a length of considerably 

 over 20 cm., long and narrow with a fairly uniform breadth of 

 approximately 2 cm., or tongue-shaped and exceeding 4 cm. in 

 breadth. Apex broadly lanceolate, lamina gradually nan-owed 

 towards the base, becoming petiolate, and terminating in a 

 slightly broader base. No prominent midrib. The median region 

 is occupied by several slender veins which occasionally join one 

 another laterally by oblique cross-connections; from the median 

 veins lateral branches are given off which bend outwards and 

 upwards as crowded lateral veins, which, in the broader form of 

 leaf, cut the margin almost at right-angles. The strongly curved 

 arches formed by the secondary veins frequently anastomose by 

 oblique veinlets which produce comparatively long and narrow 

 meshes. In the apical portion, the nerves are numerous, spreading,
