 bres. Stipss 2*/2 — 772 c.M. long, naked, wiry, winged above. Fronds 3^15 

 c.M. long, S'/j — 5 c.M. broad, erect, ovate-oblong; main rachis narrowly

Rhizome Strong, wiry, wide-creeping, densely covered with brown, hair-like 

 scales. Stipes scattered, ^Va— 10 c.M. long, erect, wiry, more or less covered 

 with brownish, hair-like scales, more densely towards the base, whether or 

 not marginate. Pronds 5—20 c.M. long, 2—6 c.M. broad, erect, deltoid to 

 lanceolate; main rachis nudate, but not rarely marginate. Pinnae spreading 

 or erecto-patent, 1—5 c.M. long. Pinnulae more or less copiously divided 

 into capillary segments 2—5 m.M. long, spreading int» various directions. 

 Texture firm; surfaces naked; colour dark-brown or blackish when dry; all the divi- 

 sions narrowly marginate. Sori mostly 1—6 to a pinna, minute, stalked; 

 indusium + truncate. 



War. alatum: Stipe and rachis rather broadly winged.

* (53) T. parviflopum, rotf., G. Chr., Ind. Pil.; T. foeniculaceum, 

 Bory, Hk. Bk., Syn. Fil., 88; Hk., Spec. Pil., I, 135, p. p. 



Stipes nearly turfted, erect, wiry, 5—10 cM. long, naked or tomentose. 

 Pronds 10—20 c.M. long, 2— 7Vj c.M. broad, erect, rigid, ovate-lanceolate; 

 main rachis naked, slightly winged above. Lower pinnae spreading or erecto- 

 patent, 2Vj— 4 c.M. long, cut down quite or very nearly to the rachis. Pin- 

 nulae regularly pinnatifid, with simple or forked, linear-filiform, bifarious seg- 

 ments 2—4 m.M. long. Texture subcoriaceous, colour dark-green. Sori 2—12 

 to a pinna, minute, the mouth rather spreading, but not 2-lipped.
