Like Angiopteris but the sporangia more numerous, even to 60 to a 

 sorus, and the fronds simply pinnate.

Caudex short, + 10 cm. thick. Fronds large, ± 1%—d m. long 

 (incl. the stipe). Pinnae 5 to numerous on a side, short-stalked, articulate, 

 elongate-oblong, 20 — 40 cm. long, 5— 10 cm. broad, the upper part narrowed 

 gradually towards the acuminate apes, the edge entire, the base obliquely 

 or unequally rounded or subcordate. Texture coriaceous, flaccid; upper 

 surface dark-green, naked, lower pale-green, minutely and sparingly scaly, 

 nearly naked; costae prominent on both sides; veins numerous, often 

 forked, upcurved, rather subhorizontal at the base, obUque towards the 

 apex; recurrent veinlets wanting. Sori close, submarginal, the largest 

 consisting of + 20—30 capsules. — A specimen received from C. J. Brooks 

 differs from that cultivated in the Buitenzorg Gardens, on which Eaci- 

 borski's diagnosis has been based, in having the veins nearly horizontal 

 and nearly all straight or somewhat decurved, and the capsules less 

 numerous.

 narrowed into a caudate apex, the edge entire, the base rounded. Texture 

 coriaceous; surfaces naked; veins nearly horizontal; spurious veinlets 

 indistinct. Sori borne on the specialized convex margin of the pinnae, 

 the largest consisting of 30 — 60 capsules.
