One of the most elegant of the Fern tribe, forming a 

 graceful plume of finely-divided fronds, spreading on all sides. 

 The caudex is erect, simple, producing numerous fronds of 

 a fine deep green colour, paler beneath. 



The fronds are from one to two feet long, and two or three 

 inches wide, almost linear in outline, arching gracefully, pinnate; 

 the rachis stout, and bearing bulbilles in the axils of many of 

 the upper pinnae. They are terminal, and are adherent to the 

 upright caudex. The pinnae are oblong-obtuse, deeply pinnatifid 

 into blunt linear lobes, which are all simple except the basal 

 one on the anterior side of the pinnae, which is bifid, or some- 

 times trifid.
