Rhizome creeping, scaly at the extremity. Stipes 45 — 60 c.M. long, slen- 

 der, stramineous or brownish, naked or pubescent, the base sparingly clothed 

 with lanceolate scales. Fronds deltoid or ovate, 45 — 100 c.M. long, 20 — 50 

 c.M. broad. Lowest pinnae generally the longest, linear-lanceolate, 3V2 — 7 c.M. 

 broad, spreading or sometimes deflexed, cut down nearly or quite to the costa 

 into deeply pinnatifid pinnulae. Pinnulae linear-lanceolate, 7i — 1 c.M. broad, 

 ± 1 c.M. apart, the base broadly adnate, slightly decurrent, the lobes blunt 

 or acute, entire or toothed. Texture herbaceous; rachis naked or villose, 

 stramineous or brown ; surfaces more or less hairy on the veins ; veins pinnate 

 in the lobes. Sori copious, + medial, in 1 row on each side of the costules.

Fronds large, 3 — 4-pinnatifid. Pinnae + 45 c.M. long. Pinnulae ±10 

 c.M. long, + 3 — 4 c.M. broad, cut down nearly or quite to the rachis into 

 oblong or ovate-oblong, rather deeply lobed tertiary segments + 7 — 8 m.M. 

 broad. Texture membranaceous, rather flaccid; surfaces naked except a few 

 weak setae chiefly on the veins; veins forked. Sori medial, at the forks — 

 A form gathered in Java by Mr. Raap difl'ers from Beddome's plant by the 

 tertiary segments being nearly 5 m.M. broad, with the veins forked or pin- 

 nate in the ultimate lobes.
