A very delicate Davallia, which I refer to the Leucosteqia- 

 group, and which may rank near to Davallia membranacea, 

 Wall. ; differing in the more contracted frond, the differently 

 shaped sori, which are here quite marginal on short teeth or 

 lobes, but especially in the copious long, soft, white, jointed 

 hairs of the entire frond.
