FEE’s plate cited above is a good figure of 
this species, which is intermediate between D. 
pedicellata and D. falciculata var. paranaensis; it 
is marked by its remote and long-stalked pinne, 
its distinct terminal pinna and its few and small 
scales. Pinney in 6—7 pairs, at distances of 
5—6 cm, shortly acuminate, incised ?/» of the 
way to the costa into falcate, entire, obtuse seg- 
ments; scales of the costae beneath very few and 
small, narrow-linear, scarcely toothed, dark-co- 
loured, (fig. 3,10). Surfaces glabrous; colour dark- 
green; texture membranous. Veins 8—10-jugate, 
the lower 2 running to the sinus. Sori medial
