 bres. Stipes 272 — 7^/2 c.M. long, naked, wiry, winged above. Fronds 5 — 15 

 c.M. long, ^'/o — 5 c.M. broad, erect, ovate-oblong; main rachis narrowly 

 winged. Pinnae erecto-patent, cut down to a narrowly winged rachis. Lower 

 pinnulae deeply forked with linear-filiform segments 4 — 5 m.M. long. Texture 

 subrigid; cellules large. Sori 1 — 8 to a pinna, minute, axillary; the tube 

 turbinate, stalked, the mouth nearly truncate.

 tab. XXI ; — var. alatum. 



Rhizome strong, wiry, wide-creeping, densely covered with brown, hair-like 

 scales. Stipes scattered, 2V2 — 10 c.M. long, erect, wiry, more or less covered 

 with brownish, hair-like scales, more densely towards the base, whether or 

 not marginate. Fronds 5 — 20 c.M. long, 2 — 6 c.M. broad, erect, deltoid to 

 lanceolate; main rachis nudato, but not rarely marginate. Pinnae spreading 

 or erecto-patent, 1 — 5 c.M. long. Pinnulae more or less copiously divided 

 into capillary segments 2 — 5 m.M. long, spreading into various directions. 

 Texture firm; surfaces naked; colour dark-brown or blackish when dry; all the divi- 

 sions narowly marginate. Sori mostly 1 — 6 to a pinna, minute, stalked; 

 indusium + truncate. 



War. alatum: Stipe and rachis rather broadly winged.

Stipes nearly turfted, erect, wiry, 5 — 10 c M. long, naked or tomentose. 

 Fronds 10—20 c.M. long, 2 — 772 c.M. broad, erect, rigid, ovate-lanceolate; 

 main rachis naked, slightly winged above. Lower pinnae spreading or erecto- 

 patent, 272 — 4 c.M. long, cut down quite or very nearly to the rachis. Pin- 

 nulae regularly pinnatifid, with simple or forked, linear-filiform, bifarious seg- 

 ments 2 — 4 m.M. long. Texture subcoriaceous, colour dark-green. Sori 2 — 1"2 

 to a pinna, minute, the mouth rather spreading, but not 2-lipped.
