Rhizome short-creeping, the scales brown, dense, small, lanceolate-subulate. 

 Stipes + approximate, 5 — 30 c.M. long, erect, naked, glossy, often black or 

 brown, the fertile fronds on the longest stipes. Fronds 10 — 25 c.M. long, 

 the fertile ones longer than the barren, simply pinnate, or 2-pinnate with 

 a ± long, terminal branch and 1 to several, spreading or suberecto-patent 

 branches on each side various in length. Leaflets various in shape, roundish, 

 flabellate, oblong, sub-quadrangular or Irapeziforra, 7 — 15 m.M. long, 5 — 8 

 m.M. broad, the lower line nearly straight or decurved, the upper and outer 

 edges bluntish or rounded, entire, crenate or lobed, the lobes entire, blunt or 

 2 — 5-dentate in the barren, ± truncate in the fertile leaflets, which are 

 often the smallest. Texture + pellucid, rather rigid; rachis and surfaces 

 naked; veins flabellate, dichotomous. Sori in a continuous line except when 

 interrupted by the lobes. — Variable. 



War. polymorpha: Some of the branches reduced to large, irre- 

 gularly incised or subdivided leaflets. 



Var. gigantea: Some of the leaflets of the central rachis 2^2 — 5 

 c.M. long, lengthened to an acute point. 



Var. tenera: Texture thin.
