Shoots erect, or ascending from an ascending or creeping base, 5 — 15 

 cm. long, pinnate, the stem stramineous, ^l^—l nam. thick at the base, 

 the main rachis about 3 — 4 mm. broad including the lateral leaves; 

 pinnae simple or forked in the smaller specimens, more compound in the 

 fully developed plants; ultimate branchlets 5 — 10 mm. long, 2 — 3 mm. 

 broad. Leaves heteromorphous ; lateral leaves somewhat spaced on the 

 stem, close or somewhat imbricated on the branchlets; of the main rachis 

 spreading, the largest 2 '/a mm. long, I'/j mm. broad, nearly straight, 

 subequilateral, acute, pellucid-margined and minutely serralate on both 

 sides, ciliate at the obliquely rounded base but more suddenly and less 

 copiously on the lower side; of the branchlets similar, more ascending, 

 smaller, to 2 mm. lon'g; intermedial leaves erect; of the main rachis 

 close, the largest about I'/a mm. long, ovate, acuminate, pellucid-margined 

 and minutely serrulate on both sides, the outer base produced, auriculate- 

 cordate, ciliate, the inner base slightly cordate, sparingly ciliolate ; of the 

 branchlets similar, smaller, relatively narrower, the outer base slightly 

 cordate or rounded, sparingly ciliate, the inner base rotundate-cuneate, 

 not or hardly ciliolate. Spikes solitary, terminal, 5 mm. more or less 

 long, about 2 mm. diam. ; sporophylla ovate, acuminate, pellucid-margined, 

 minutely serrulate, keeled; macrospores whitish, yellowish or pale- 

 ochraceous, smooth or pulverulent; microspores .... — The description

Stems to 272 mm. thick, whether or not grooved; leaves of the 

 lower plane more or less approximate on the stem, contiguous or snh- 

 contiguous on the ultimate ^ branchlets, rotundate to rotundate-cuneate on 

 the upper side at the base; of the branchlets to 6 mm. long; leaves of 

 the upper plane more or less distinctly hamate-auriculate ; of the stem 

 'entire on the outer side or obsoletely denticulate to serrulate towards 

 the apex, vnth the basal auricle provided with + 0—2 minute teeth; of 

 'the branchlets less copiously serrulate on the inner side; spikes not 

 invariably terminal on the branchlets, not rarely also in higher forks or 

 on reduced axillary branchlets.
