1905; these specimens were rather dwarfed and looked some- 

 what distinct, but they were obviously not fully developed.

I have only seen the description of this striking fern in 

 the 'Ferns of Malaya' by Christ. 



It had a stout rhizome, J inch through, covered with a 

 dense coat of closest black subulate hairs; stems over two feet 

 tall, glabrous, except at the base, more than ^ inch through; 

 lamina 6 inches long and wider, coriaceous, bifurcating thrice, 

 cuneate at the base; ultimate segments linear, acuminate, 

 subacute; main nerves forming square areolae; the reticulations 

 less conspicuous. Sori circular, i to 5 in the centre of an 

 areolus. The sori are fewer than in the original description, 

 but otherwise the description fits this plant well.
