base, on petioles ± 5 c.M. long. Pinnulae lanceolate, 15 — W c.IVI. long. 

 Tertiary segments + 3'/2 c.M. long, ± 1 c.M. broad, cut down to a narrowly 

 wiiiged rachis into 10—12 oblong, obtuse segments on each side, wbich are 

 bluntly lobed. Texture herbaceous; surfaces naked; tertiary rachises and raid- 

 ribs with a few, longish, white hairs on both sides. Sori in the axils of the 

 1 — 2 lower lobes on each side of the segments; indusium distinct, mem-

Rhizome densely clothed with short, spreading fibrils. Stipes 20—100 

 c.M. long, puberulous like the rhizome but less so. Fronds 50 — 500 c.M. 

 long, 4 — 5-pinnate. Lower pinnae ovate-lanceolate, 20 — 100 c.3I. long. Ulti- 

 mate segments linear-oblong, bluntish, free or joining at the base by a very 

 narrow wing, the edges toothed or shallowly pinnatifid. Texture herbaceous; 

 surfaces sparingly glandular-pubescent, the rachises more so. Sori in the 

 ultimate sinuses.
