Rhizome short, clothed with dark-brown, entire, lanceolate scales. Stipes 

 + tufted, IV2 — 5 c.M. long, clothed with very short, spreading, erecto-patent 

 or adpressed gland-like hairs. Fronds linear, narrowed towards both ends, 

 5 — 10 c.M. long, 5 — 10 m.M. broad, pinnate. Pinnae erecto-patent, irregularly 

 rhomboidal-oblong in the narrowest, ovate-oblong in the broadest forms, the 

 higher ones rather confluent, subentire or crenate, the central decurrent, 

 distant, crenate, crenato-denlate or crenato-pinnatifid with few crenations, the 

 lower much reduced, narrow, entire, distant. Texture firm-herbaceous, fragile 

 when dry, pellucid; rachis and surfaces papillose, the papillae clavate, 

 pellucid, yellowish-brown, subadpressed ; costae pinnate with + 1 — 3 simple 

 veins on each side. Sori round, 1 to each vein, close to the costae, at length 

 often contiguous. — Differs from P. glandulosum, Hk., Spec. Fil., IV, 194, 

 tab. CCLXXVI, A, in having all the pinnae distant, not confluent, and the 

 opposite sori contiguous, costal, though terminal on the short veins.

Rhizome short-creeping, clothed with dark, lanceolate, ciliate scales. Stipes 

 subtufted or to 1 c.M. apart, 2 7^—12 c.M. long, densely covered with deci- 

 duous or persistent, spreading, reddish hairs. Fronds linear-lanceolate, 30 — 70 

 c.M. long, S'/j — 4 c.M. broad, narrowed gradually towards both ends, cut 

 down to the rachis throughout into entire, linear, blunt, horizontal, sessile 

 pinnae 2 — 3 m.M. broad, the base often slightly narrowed. Texture herba- 

 ceous to subcoriaceous ; rachis villose; surfaces naked or villose; veins paral- 

 lel, simple. Sori copious, superficial or immersed, round, elliptical when young.
