Rhizome ascending, thick, woody, black, elongated, the scales dense, 

 lanceolate, pale-ferrugineous, peltate near tire base, entire, the apex finely 

 acuminate, the point hair-like, crisped, deciduous. Stipes scattered, erect, 

 + l'/4 — 6 cm. long, naked, slightly sulcate above, rather convex beneath, 

 those of the fertile fronds the longest. Fronds very dimorphous. Barren 

 fronds lanceolate, + 6 — 9 cm. long, ± I'/j — 2 cm. broad near the base, 

 narrowed gradually to the acuminate apex, the base cuneate or rotundate- 

 cuneate and slightly decurrent, the edge thickened, revolute, broadly and 

 shallowly crenated. Texture rigidly coriaceous; surfaces naked; costa 

 slightly sulcate above, prominent beneath, as are the main veins; main 

 veins ascending, not reaching the margin, veins hidden. Fertile fronds 

 linear, ± 15—25 cm. long, + 4 — 5 mm. broad, narrowed gradually towards 

 both ends, when dry conspicuously induplicate, or rather involuto-canal- 

 iculate, the edge thickened, entire, the costa prominent angular, and 

 2-marginate beneath. Sori numerous, large, oblong, superficial, in 1 row 

 on each side of the costa, medial, remote, parallel to the costa. — Very 

 distinct by its apparently terete (conspicuously canaUculate) fertile fronds.
