Rliizome short, erect, tlie scales triangular-subulate, fuscous, entire, 

 peltate-cordate at the base. Stipes tufted, + Vj — 1 cm. long, fuscous, 

 densely clothed with short, fuscous, spreading hairs. Fronds linear- 

 lanceolate, to + 15 cm. long by 1 — I'/s cm. broad, narrowed gradually at 

 both ends, crenate. Texture rigidly coriaceous; surfaces dark-green; 

 upper surface nearly naked, lower short-hairy, the hairs fuscous; costa 

 densely hairy beneath, less so above; higher and lower veins simple or 

 forked, free; central veins forked at the apex, for the rest united by a 

 single row of transversal veinlets forming 1 row of pentagonal areolae 

 on each side of the costa; areolae provided with a single included ex- 

 current free veinlet springing from the anterior side of the veins. Sori 

 in 2 rows on each side, the inner ones terminal on the included veinlets, 

 the outer on the anastomosing veinlets. — The systematical place of this 

 species is uncertain; Brause placed it in § Phlebodium.

 gradually at both ends, entire or nearly so. Texture coriaceous; surfaces 

 provided with scattered, nearly black hairs, at length not rarely naked;
