Shoots ascending from a creeping base, 30 cm. long, the lower part 

 simple, compressed, when dry sometimes slightly angled and grooved, 

 grey-stramineous or dirty-coloured, densely puberulous, as are rachises, 

 to 2 mm. thick, the upper part 4-pinnate, ovate in outline, the main 

 rachis 7 mm. broad including the lateral leaves; pinnae ovate, to 15 cm. 

 long; ultimate, branchlets 2 — 3 mm. broad. Leaves of the stipe sub-

 adnate, acute, the upper (inner) side remotely and minutely denticulate. 

 very shortly rotundate-cuneate at the base, the lower (outer) side entire, or 

 obscurely denticulate towards the apex, straight at the base, the largest 

 leaves 4 mm. long by hardly 1 mm. broad; of the upper plane deltoid- 

 oblong, acuminate, keeled, hardly and sparingly denticulate, the base 

 broadly adnate, narrowly auriculate and somewhat produced on the outer 

 side, rotundate-cuneate on the inner side ; leaves of the branches distinctly 

 heteromorphous; those of the lower plane spreading; of the secondary rachises 

 remote, elongate-oblong, subacute, the upper side rather sparingly den- 

 ticulate, rotundate-cuneate at the base, the lower side straight, the largest 

 leaves S'A mm. long by IV4 mm. broad; those of the upper plane erect; 

 of the secondary rachises approximate, obliquely ovate, acuminate, the 

 inner side rather minutely denticulate, rounded at the base, the outer 

 side subentire, denticulate at the produced cordate base, the largest 

 leaves 2V4 mm. long by 1 mm. broad; leaves of the branchlets smaller; 

 of the lower plane subfalcate-oblong, to IV2 mm. long and hardly more 

 than V2 mm. broad, obtuse, distinctly spuriously veined, the upper 

 base only sparingly denticulate and pellucid-margined; of the upper
