 grandidens, Kze, Bot. Zeit., i846, 423. 



Rhizome creeping, clothed with lanceolate to linear, dark-brown, + ci- 

 liate scales, not cretaceous. Stipes 15 — 45 c.M. long, firm, naked, stramineous 

 or subebeneous. Fronds 50 — 300 c.M. long, 20 — 40 c.M. broad, often subpen- 

 dulous. Pinnae articulate, distant, short-stalked, 1 — 3 '4 c.M. broad, the apex 

 acuminate or gradually narrowed, the edge crenate, serrate or slightly tooth- 

 ed, the base rather acutely cuneate or gradually narrowed. Texture membra- 

 naceous to subcoriaceous ; rachis and surfaces naked ; areolae in + 3 rows 

 on each side. Sori in 1 row on each side, not deeply immersed (often ap-

Near P. verrucosum, Wall. Rhizome scales indistinctly ciliato-dentate, 

 rather entire. Stipes distant, slender, soon naked, ± 10 — 15 c.M. long. Fronds 

 small, 15 — 20 c.M. long, ± 12 — 15 c.M. broad. Pinnae paucijugate (± 2 — 3 

 on each side below the terminal one ; terminal pinna ± 10 — 12 '/a c.M. 

 long, the lateral ones similar, sessile, + opposite, articulate, erecto-patent, 

 7 — 8 c.M. long, + 1 '/i c.M. broad near the base, narrowed gradually towards 

 the acuminate apex, the margin indistinctly crenate or crenato-serrate, the 

 base broadly, abruptly cuneate. Texture subcoriaceous; surfaces naked except 

 a few scattered, deciduous, fimbriate, minute, lanceolate scales on the costae 

 beneath, + hairy in the younger forms ; areolae in 3 rows on each side. Sori 

 confined to the costal areolae, slightly immersed, not very prominent 

 on the upper surface; paraphyses yellow, indistinctly incised at the apex.
