Rhizome short, ascending, the scales broadly lanceolate. Fronds linear- 

 lanceolate, densely tufted, 5 — 15 c.M. long, ± ^'/^ — 5 m.M. broad, narrowed 

 gradually towards both ends, the apex bluntish, the edge entire or slightly 

 repand, the stipe 1 — 4 c.M. long, slender, brown, provided with soft, spread- 

 ing, reddish hairs. Texture firm-membranaceous ; surfaces hairy like the stipe; 

 veins distinct or more or less hidden, forked near the base, sometimes simple, 

 not reaching the margin, with the branches ± of the same length. Sori 

 rather distant, in 1 row on each side of the slightly wavy midrib, close to 

 it or nearer the latter than the margin.

 ± 2 — 4 m.M. broad, the apex bluntish, the edge slightly repand, the lower 

 part narrowed gradually. Texture subcoriaceous ; midrib black, slightly fur-

 or less densely clothed with rigid, short, spreading, red-brown hairs. Fronds

 gradually towards both ends, the apex bluntish, the edge entire. Texture 

 coriaceous or thinner; upper surface naked or covered with black dots cor- 

 responding with the apices of the veinlets, under surface moderately provided 

 with short, blackish-fuscous hairs; veins branched with 2 — 4 branches. Sori 

 roundish, elliptical when young, superficial, in I row on each side, close to 

 the midrib, placed on the lowest anterior branch of the veins.
