 the lowest branches much the longest. Leaflets orhicular-cuneate, + 1 — 1 '/a 

 c.M. broad, the base cuneate, the upper and outer edge deeply crenate or 

 rather deeply lobed and crenate, the lobes cuneate-flabellate or cuneate-oblong. 

 Texture thin, membranaceous or more rigid; surfaces naked; veins flabellate. 

 Sori interrupted by the lobes and crenations ; indusium narrow.

Rhizome short-creeping, paleaceous. Stipes strong, erect, polished, 20 — 55 

 c.M. long. Fronds 2-pinnate, 30 — 45 c.M. long, 20—30 c.M. broad, with a 

 long, terminal branch and 6 — 10 pairs of lateral ones, which are 15 — 25 c.M, 

 long. Leaflelts 7 — 10 m.M. long, 5 — 5 m.M. broad, closely placed, often 

 slightly imbricale, the upper edge entire, the apex broadly rounded, entire

Rhizome wide-creeping. Stipes 10 — 15 c.M. long, rigid, erect, prickly 

 towards the base. Fronds 2-pinnate, with a long terminal branch and 1 — 4 

 pairs of flexuose, lateral ones 10 — 20 c.M. long. Leaflets 6 — 10 m.M. long, 

 4 — 5 m.M. broad, the lower edge often falcate, the upper 3 — 4 times bluntly, 

 not deeply lobed, placed close together, not imbricate. Texture very thick 

 and coriaceous; veins prominent. Sori sublerminal on the lobes. — The 

 colour of the nature frond is sepia-brown and the pale veins stand out from 

 the ground-work in relief (Bk).
