Rhizome wide-creeping, densely scaly; scales fusco-brown, linear-lanceolate from 
rounded base, thin, clathrate; frond 1-2 cm apart, scarcely subdimorphous, the fertile one 
with stipe 30-35 cm long, straminous, glabrous, lamina 15-20 cm long, 5-8 cm broad at 
base, oblong-ovate, gradually acuminate, base rotundo-truncate, decurrent a short way 
along stipe, margin narrowly cartilaginous, repando-undulate; textwre herbaceous, green, 
glabrous on both sides; lateral veins distinct, erecto-patent, flexuose, veinlets anastomo- 
sing on each side in a row of elongate areol with divaricate included veinlet; sort linear,

rotundo-truncate base shortly decurrent along stipe and narrower sori being more wide 
apart from each other.
