Rhizome creeping, sparingly clothed with very small, deltoid scales. Stipes 

 firm, naked, glossy, 50 — 120 c.M. long. Fronds 50 — 150 c.M. long, varying 

 from simply pinnate to 5-pinnate. Pinnae erecto-patent, 10 — 50 c.M. long, 

 stalked, the simple ones 2 — 5 c.M. broad, lanceolate, acuminate, narrowed at 

 the base, the edge entire. Pinnulae of the same shape as the simple pinnae, 

 but smaller. Texture herbaceous; rachis and both surfaces naked or nearly 

 so ; veins distinct, close, simple or once forked. Sori yellow, commonly forked, 

 beginning at the costa, but falling short of the edge.
