Rhizome creeping, clothed with dark-brown, narrow, lanceolate, ciliate 

 scales. Stipes 2 — 8 c.M. long, provided with very short reddish hairs. Fronds 

 lanceolate, 20 — 40 c.M. long, 1 '/i — 3 c.M. broad, narrowed towards both ends, 

 the edge cut down to the rachis into entire, blunt pinnae 1 — 3 m.M. broad. 

 Texture coriaceous; surfaces ± naked; rachis hairy; veins hidden, simple or 

 forked. Sori round (elliptical when young), in 1 row on each side of the 

 midribs, at length filling up the whole under surface.

Rhizome short-creeping, the scales small, dense, dark-brown, lanceolate. 

 Stipes winged nearly or quite down to the base, 2'/2 — S c.M. long to where 

 the pinnae begin. Fronds lanceolate, 13 — 25 c.M. long, 2'/j — 372 c.M. broad 

 above the middle, narrowed gradually from the middle to the base, cut down 

 to the rachis into very numerous, crowded, adnate, linear, subentire or slight- 

 ly repand pinnae 2 — 2^2 ^■^- broad. Texture firm; surfaces naked; rachis 

 minutely pubescent beneath; veins simple, erecto-patent, 10 — 12-jugate in the 

 central pinnae, not reaching the margin. Sori terminal on the veins, globose, 

 submarginal, distinctly immersed.

 narrowed at the base. Pinnae linear, multijugate, ± ^^^ m.M. broad, ob- 

 scurely crenate, dilated and adnate at the base. Texture coriaceous; surfaces

 both ends, pinnate. Pinnae numerous, linear, ± 5 m.M. broad, obtuse, entire,
