The fronds themselves of this fern do not a to attain a 
length of more than a foot or a foot and a half; but the caudex 
probably grows to a considerable height, as Mr. Fraser mentions 
specimens which he saw 20 feet in length. The fertile fronds 
are densely covered beneath with rich golden-brown capsules.
