Branches terete, very smooth, tips puberulous. Leaves 6-12 by 2-4 in., thin, 

 greenish when dry, nerves 3-5 pair above the basal and cross-nervules strong and 

 pubemlous beneath; petiole 3-5 in. , slender; stipules lanceolate. Male fl. shortly 

 pedicelled, globose, in. diana. ; sepals 4, broad, densely pubescent : stamens very 

 numerous, connective rather broad, not produced. Fern. fl. subsessile, \ in. diam. ;
