veins simple, not quite reaching the margin. Sori confined to the upper pin- 

 nae, immersed, oval, 5 — 10 in a row on each side of the midrib, ± medial 

 between this and the margin, the edge of each cavity forms a projecting 

 ring, but does not cover the sorus.

Rhizome short, creeping, densely ferrugineo-squamose. Stipes approximate, 

 "272 c.M. or less long, naked. Fronds 15—30 c.M. long, 1%—^% c.M. 

 broad, linear-lanceolate, narrowed towards both ends, cut down nearly or 

 quite to the rachis into numerous pinnae. Central pinnae longest, rather 

 spreading, linear-oblong, ± ^^^ — 3 m.M. broad, blunt, the lower ones gradu- 

 ally becoming blunter, shorter and broader. Texture coriaceous ; surfaces naked, 

 or the rachis hispid; costulae and veins indistinct. Sori oblong, 2 — 8 on 

 each side, medial between the costulae and the edge, moderately filling 

 up the space between both, apical on the short veins, sunk in hairy ca- 

 vities.

Rhizome short-creeping, stout, densely scaly. Fronds subsessile, 10 — 15 

 c.M. long, 2 — 3 c.M. broad, lanceolate-acuminate. Pinnae numerous, close, 

 1 — 1'/2 Dtt-M. broad, the edge with distinct, rounded crenations or teeth; lower 

 pinnae gradually reduced. Texture coriaceous; surfaces naked; rachis wiry, 

 ebeneous, sparingly and deciduously hairy; veins simple, indistinct, 1 to each 

 crenation, short. Sori immersed, + medial, 1 to each vein.

Stipes densely tufted, very short. Fronds 10 — 30 c.M. long, ± 12 '/j

 linear-subulate or ligulate, fertile ones spathulate, with the lower half narrow-

 riaceous; rachis ciliate with deciduous hairs; pinnae tipped with 1 — 3 erect
