Near N. cordifolia, Pr. Fronds 7 — 15 c.M. long, rarely longer, lanceo- 

 late, the rachis winged like the stipe, naked or nearly so. Pinnae hardly 

 deciduous, the fertile ones creuato-serrate. Texture herbaceous; veins dis- 

 tinct. — This species is notable for its exposure to extremes of moisture. In- 

 stead of resisting desiccation, as do all the other species, this one yields rea- 

 dily and endures it, without losing its pinnae, and promptly recovers (Copel.).
