Rhizome creeping, quite naked like the stipes and fronds. Fronds simple, 

 elongate, linear-lanceolate, 20 — 45 c.M. long, + 2*/2 c.M. broad, narrowed 

 very gradually into an acuminate apex and a long, wingless stipe, the margin 

 more or less sinuato-denticulate, the denticulations rather distant. Texture 

 chartaceous or almost membranaceous; costa stout; veins very spreading, simple 

 or forked, almost parallel. Sori broad, in pairs, traversing the whole width
