deciduously ciliolate-denticulate scales. Stipes + '/a — 1 cm. apart, + 

 4 — 8 cm. long, angular when dry, naked. Fronds linear-lanceolate, + 

 10—20 cm. long, '/2 — Va cm. broad, narrowed very gradually towards 

 both ends, the point bluntish, the edge broadly and very shallowly 

 crenated, bounded by a somewhat pellucid line. Texture thinly coriaceous ; 

 surfaces naked; veins distinct towards the light, very obUque, connected 

 by transversal veins so as to form 3 rows of subquadrangular areolae ; 

 free veinlets present except in the costal areolae, 1 — 2 in each areola, 

 excurrent or those of the marginal areolae recurrent. Sori in 1 row on 

 each side of the costa, medial, slightly immersed, roundish or oblique- 

 oblong, occupying the abbreviated veinlets of the central areolae.

Rhizome wide-creeping, woody, clothed with adpressed, irregular, 

 roundish or linear-lanceolate, entire or cihate scales. Stipes scattered, 

 subflesuose, stramineous, naked, glossy, 2-marginate. Fronds simple, 

 elongate-oval, + 25 cm. long, S'/, — 4 cm. broad, the base cuneate, the 

 apex narrowed, often acuminate. Texture subcoriaceo-chartaceous ; surfaces 

 naked; upper surface oHve-green, lower paler; costa and veins hardly 

 prominent above, more distinctly so beneath; primary veins flexuose, 

 forming a series of large costal areolae on each side and beyond these a 

 second series of smaller primary areolae, with secondary and tertiary 

 areolae with free included veinlets. Sori round, separate, rarely confluent in 

 pairs, scattered irregularly, occupying the whole under surface of the fronds.
