Rhizome creeping, filiform, densely covered with black, hair-like scales. 

 Stipes rather distant, I'/a — S c.M. long, naked, slightly winged above or 

 throughout. Fronds deltoid to lanceolate-obovate, ± 2 '/a — 10 c.M. long, 2 — 5 

 c.M. broad, 3-pinnatifid; main rachis winged. Pinnae ovate-lanceolate to 

 rhomboidal, pinnatifid down to a winged rachis, the lower pinnulae again 

 deeply pinnatifid. Ultimate segments linear, blunt. Texture membranaceous, 

 hyaline, bright-green or olivaceous; a central vein in each ultimate segment, 

 besides this a continuous or slightly interrupted, flexuose, submarginal spurious 

 one. Sori 1 — 4 to a pinna; indusium winged, the mouth 2-Iipped, the lips 

 triangular, rather acute. 



War. late-alatum : Ultimate segments acute and very narrow; wing of 

 the rachis somewhat crisped; spurious veins more distinct. Fronds sessile.

Like T. bipunctatum, Poir., but the fronds smaller, under 2^4 c.M. each 

 way, subflabellate, subdigitato-pinnatifid. Rhizome wide-creeping, filiform, at 

 length naked; stipes distant, short or nearly wanting.

Rhizome slender, wide-creeping. Stipes slender, naked, about V2 — IV2 

 c.M. long. Fronds to 13 m.M. long, about 6 m.M. broad, oblong or sub- 

 rhomboidal in general outline, pinnatifid down to a narrowly winged rachis. 

 Segments erecto-patent, in 2 — 6 pairs, linear, simple or forked, + 6 m.M.
