"Rhizome slender, creeping, the scales lanceolate. Stipes slender, erect, 

 scaly, 4 — 10 c.M. long below the winged portion. Fronds 10 — 20 c.M. long, 

 with an entire terminal lobe 5 — 10 c.M. long, Ya — I'/i ^■^^- broad, and 

 2 — 4 similar lobes on each side, which are suberect or erecto-palent, narrowed 

 gradually towards an acute or bluntish point, connected by a costal wing 5 — 5 

 m.M. broad, the lowest gradually decurrent upon the stipe. Texture thin 

 but firm; under surface minutely hairy; costa and costulae + scaly beneath, 

 prominent like the primary veins, which slop short and unite at + ^/j of 

 the way to the margin, forming 1 series of large primary areolae on each 

 side, each with commonly 1 sorus in the narrower and mostly 2 sori in the 

 broader segments; secondary areolae in and beyond the primary ones fine, 

 indistinct, with few free veinlets. Sori small, rather oblong.

 of BoL, VIII, 151 (not Journ. of Bol., XVIII, 214). 



Stipes moderately long, naked, stramineous. Fronds lanceolale-oblong, 

 17 — 20 c.M. long, 7 — 10 c M. broad, deeply pinnatifid, the base hardly nar- 

 rowed. Segments 8 — 9-jugate, contiguous, lanceolate, entire, acute, confiuent 

 at the base, ^%—'i-^li c.M. broad. Texture moderately firm; surfaces naked; 

 areolae hexagonal, copious, with free veinlets. Sori large, seniiglobose, su- 

 perficial, in 1 — 2 rows on each side of the costulae.

Rhizome woody, scaleless. Stipes 50 — 45 c.M. long, firm, erect. Fronds 

 45 — 60 c.M. long or shorter, 25 — 50 c.M. or more broad, cut down nearly 

 to the rachis below (within IV2 c.M. above) into few or numerous (4 — 50), 

 rather distant or more close, erecto-palent, repand, linear-ohlong, acuminate 

 lobes 272 c.M. or more broad. Texture papyraceo-herbaceous; bolh surfaces 

 naked; main veins distinct to the edge; areolae copious, with free veinlels. 

 Sori in rows of 5- — 4 near the costulae.
