 Bedd., Ferns Br.I., II, tab. CCLXVII. 



Rhizome sli'trt-creeping, the scales weak, blackish, subulate or subcapillary, 

 crowded more densely at the base of the younger fronds. Fronds close, erect, 

 sessile or stalked, S^/^ — 10 or rarely to 20 c.M. long, 4 — 10 or rarely to 20 

 m.M. broad, ligulate, the apex acute or acuminate, the edge entire, the base 

 narrowed gradually into the stipe. Texture submembranaceous, subpellucid; 

 surfaces naked; cosla none, or slightly visible in the lower '/s of the frond; 

 areolae longitudinal, oblong to linear. Sori linear, long and subcontiuuous, or 

 short and interrupted, immei-sed; paraphyses clavate or obpyriform at the apex.

Rhizome short, the scales brown, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, subdenticu- 

 late. Fronds dense, sessile, spalhulale-cuneate, 10—25 c.M. long, 3 — 5 c.M. 

 broad, the fully developed ones broadest near the blunt apex, narrowed gra- 

 dually to the base, the sides nearly straight, entire. Texture coriaceous; cosla 

 distinct, but lost in the upper '/s — 'At '^'^ ^^^ frond. Sori short or long, mostly 

 free, slightly sunk, the edges of the grooves slightly raised; paraphyses linear, 

 the apex capitate-clavate.

 fig. 1-3. 



Rhizome scaly like the base of the stipes, the scales black, denticulate. 

 Fronds spathulale-lanceolate, lii — 30 c.M. long, 2 — i% c.M. broad, the base 

 narrowed gradually into Ihe winged stipe, the apex short-acuminate. Texture 

 thinly charlaceous but firm, rigid; colour pale-green; costa visible in Ihe lower 

 half; areolae in 6 — 8 rows on each side, the central ones moderately elongate, 

 the lateral + as broad as long. Sori immersed in the numerous grooves, 

 continuous or interrupted, hardly reticulate; paraphyses branched, the apices 

 globoso-capilate.
