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- 

 isomorphous, erect, remote; of the lower plane elongate-deltoid, broadly 

 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 3V mm. long by 1'A 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 2 3 A mm. long by 1 mm. broad; leaves of the branchlets smaller; 

 of the lower plane subfalcate-oblong, to 1V mm. long and hardly more 

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

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

 plane imbricate, the inner side pellucid-margined in the upper part and
