Rhizome epigeous, slender, wide-creeping, densely clothed in fusco-brown, lanceolate, 
acuminate, thin, clathrate scales; fronds distant, 3-10 cm long, 0.5-I cm broad at the 
broadest part in the uppermost part, oblanceolate, much broadened below acute or short- 
acuminate apex, gradually long-attenuate until base, margin entire, thin; textwre subcar- 
nose, greenish-brown when dried; midrib prominently raised above, only slightly keeled 
or not visible beneath, veins not seen, forming two rows of elongate oblique areole on each 
side of midrib; sori linear-oblong, very oblique, 2-4 pairs, confined to the uppermost 
broadest part, subcostal, not reaching margin.

This fern represents one of the smallest species of the genus, being characterized by 
small sessile oblanceolate or spathulate leaves, much broadened in the upper one-fifth 
part, thence gradually narrowed and attenuate until base, by a few pairs of short and 
very oblique subcostal sori, confined to the uppermost broadest part. The Japanese L. 
Y akushimae (Christ) appears not specifically different from Chinese type.
