A delicate, quite new Gymnogramme, detected as far as 
The present plant grows on trees, and forms dense tufts ; its 
short surculose caudices firmly entangled. The stipites are 
extremely slender, filiform, from two to four inches long; the 
fronds from two to three inches in length, extremely delicate, 
first pinnated, the pinne for the most part bipinnatifid, the 
lowest pinne tripinnatifid, all cut into narrow segments, 0 
which the ultimate ones are oblong-lanceolate, rather acute. 
The nerve occupies the centre of these, but disappears before 
the point, and it is the apex of this solitary nerve that bears 
the oblong prominent sorus.
