Type from Colombia, ad Rio Magdalena, leg. SrÜBEL nr. 371 (Bl). 
A small species, founded on a single leaf and perhaps not different from the 
following, from which it recedes by such small differences as the distinctly cuneate 
base of the lower pinnz: and the more oblique or subfalcate and not very obtuse 
segments. The rachis is very slightly stellato-pubescent, and the young sporangia 
are setose. The rachis is gemmiferous below the apex (not figured by HIERONYMUS). 
The stipe is short, shorter than the lamina, and the basal pinnz not much reflexed.

Type from Venezuela: Caripe, Moritz nr. 205 (B!) 
A distinct species, excellently described by JENMAN and MaxoN (loc.cit.) It is 
well-marked by its long stipe, which is considerably longer than the lamina, its 
sessile mostly opposite pinnz, the lower ones much reflexed, their base truncate 
or, in the lower ones, more or less narrowed. Lamina practically glabrous, the 
rachis upwards setose and slightly stellato-pubescent above, sometimes with a bud 
in the upper part. Pinnz scarcely incised to the middle into bluntly rounded or 
even truncate, a little oblique lobes. Veins 8—10 to each side the lower 2—3 much 
upcurved and running out to the sinus. Sori medial with a setose indusium. Spo- 
rangia with a single long hair on the pedicel.
