Rhizome wide-creeping, densely clothed with adpressed, lanceolate, pel- 

 tate scales. Stipes 1 — 5 c.M, apart, 5 — 10 c.M. long, erect, more or less 

 scaly like the rachis. Fronds 10—20 c.M. long, 5 — 5 c.M. broad, triangular- 

 lanceolate, cut down nearly or quite to the rachis into long, nearly or quite 

 close, parallel, linear-oblong, entire, bluntish or acute segments, the lowest 

 pair often a little shorter and sometimes auricled. Texture coriaceous; sur- 

 faces naked; veins forked. Sori oblique, occupying the apices of the anterior 

 veinlets, placed in 1 row on each side of the costulae; indusium with the 

 base slightly excavate.

Rhizome wide-creeping, the scales dense, with the base dilated and pel- 

 tate, the point lanceolate-subulate, spreading. Stipes very short, to l^j^ c.M. 

 long. Fronds ovale or deltoid-lanceolate, acuminate, 5 — 10 c.M. long, i'/^ — 4 

 c.M. broad, cut down nearly to the costa into linear-oblong, parallel, entire 

 or toothed segments, the lower ones sometimes deeply pinnatifid or auricled 

 at the lower base. Segments + 3 — 4 m.M. broad. Texture varying from 

 thin to subcoriaceons; surfaces naked; veins forked. Sori in 1 row on each 

 side of the costulae, occupying the greater part of the space between the 

 costulae and the edges. 



War. |iolypoclioicIeiS: Fronds larger, more acute, on stipes 2 '/j — 5 

 c.M. long. 



Forms reported from Celebes had the fronds both sessile and stalked on 

 the same rhizome. 



Java, Celebes; Fiji.

 Grev., Ic. Fil., tab. CXXXVII; C. Chr , Ind. Fil. 



Rhizome wide-creeping, branched, the scales lanceolate, peltate near the 

 base, entire or nearly so, ferrugineous. Stipes scattered, 1 — 7 '/a c.M. long. 

 Fronds 1 '/i — 4 c.M. long, to 5 c.M. broad, deltoid-ovate in general outline.
