This species has the stipe and rachises often scaly with pale or 

 brown, brown-ciliolate paleae. It has the sori not rarely more or less 

 divaricating as in A. glabra Hk. but differs principally in having the stipe 

 and main rachis brown or yellow-brown, and the pinnulae cut commonly 

 at least '/j-way down to the costa into mostly entire lobes with generally 

 6 — 7 veins on a side.
