Rhizome creeping, densely clothed with reddish-brown, subulate scales. 

 Fronds + 45 c.M. long, 17 — 20 c.M. broad, oblong, acuminate. Pinnae nu- 

 merous, 1 — 1^/2 c.M. broad, sinuate-crenate, superior base often subauricled; 

 superior pinnae decurrent on the rachis, remainder sessile from a broad base, 

 not adnate, or inferior ones subpetiolate. Texture membranaceous; rachis and 

 both surfaces covered with soft, weak, whitish hairs; veins forming 2 — 3 

 rows of areolae. Sori in 1 row on each side of the costae.

 argutum, J. Sm., Bedd., Ferns Br.I., I, tab. VI. 



Rhizome firm, wide-creeping, the scales minute, linear-subulate, dark- 

 brown. Stipes 7 — 15 c.M. long, naked, castaneo-straminepus. Fronds sub- 

 erect, lanceolate-oblong, 30 — 60 c.M. long, 20—30 c.M. broad. Pinnae 10 — 

 20-jugate, ligulate-acuminate, faintly inciso-crenate, l^j^ — 2 c.M. broad, many 

 free, distant, uniformly narrowed from the base to the apex, lower subpetio-

Rhizome woody, cretaceous, densely clothed with deciduous, lanceolate, 

 acuminate, brown scales. Stipes + 20 c.M. long or longer, strong, glabres- 

 cent. Fronds ± 50 c.M. long, 30 — 50 c.M. broad, acuminate, the rachis 

 sor dido-paleaceous towards the apex. Pinnae often opposite, sessile, lowest 

 largest, + 20 c.M. long, to + 2 c.M. broad, cordate at the base, the edge 

 coarsely serrate, the apex acuminate. Texture herbaceous; surfaces nearly 

 naked; veins forming 1 row of large costal areolae and sometimes 1 or more 

 series of smaller areolae outside the costal ones. Sori large, superficial.
