at length quite naked, the scales linear-acuminate, subulate, ciliate, recurved 

 or spreading. Fronds subpendulous, 45 — 120 c.M. long, 15—30 c.M. broad. 

 Pinnae numerous, subsessile, articulate lo the rachis, ereclo-patent or spreading, 

 linear, to 20 c.M. long, 1 —4 c.M. broad, the edges mostly + parallel, entire 

 or crenato-dentate, the base obtusely cuneate or nearly rounded, the upper 

 half narrowed gradually to the point, or the apex abruptly narrowed, short- 

 cuspidate; terminal pinna simple, similar to the lateral ones but not rarely 

 very elongated and strap-shaped. Texture papyraceous or subcoriaceous ; sur- 

 faces naked or villose, often conspicuously hairy in the younger forms; costae 

 whether or not with some few scattered fimbriate scales beneath; areolae in 

 4 — 5 rows on each side of the costae. Sori in 1 row on each side, confined 

 to the costal areolae, immersed in deep cavities, which form very distinct 

 warts or tubercles on the upper surface; paraphyses dark-brown, oblong and 

 mostly irregularly, pinnately or stellately incised at the apex.

Rhizome wide-creeping, the scales small, subulate, ferrugineous. Stipes 

 ± 10 c.M. long, suberect, naked or nearly so. Fronds 15 — 20 c.M. long, 

 + 8 c.M. broad, pinnate. Pinnae narrowly lanceolate, + 6 — 8 m.M. broad, 

 acute, serrate or crenate towards the base, short-auriculate, the base ± trun- 

 cate, sessile but not adnate. Texture herbaceous; surfaces clothed with a 

 short, soft tomentum; veins free beyond a single row of areolae on each 

 side. Sori scarcely immersed.

Rhizome creeping, pruinose, clothed with few, thin, linear scales, at length 

 ± naked. Stipes subremote, 5 — 15 c.M. long, glabrescent, pale-green, here 

 and there pale-fuscous. Fronds 10—40 c.M long, 5—10 c.M. broad, oblong, 

 the rachis dirty-stramineous, hirsute, the hairs intermixed with small, adpres- 

 sed or curved, narrow-lanceolate or subulate, fimbriato-denticulate, black-fus- 

 cous, deciduous scales. Pinnae ± 10— 15-jugate; terminal pinna + pinnati- 

 fid at the base, the lateral ones opposite or alternate, sessile, straight or 

 subfalcate, the base broadly rounded to cordato-truncate, the edge crena to- 

 serrulate, the apex bluntish or acute. Texture rather herbaceous to coriaceous ;
