Rhizome ± erect. Stipes + IS c.M. long, pale-brown, scaleless, finely 

 pilose. Fronds oblong-lanceolate, 60—90 c.M. long, 50—40 c.M. broad, 

 2-pinnatifid. Pinnae in + 40 pairs below the small, entire, terminal one, sessile, 

 linear-ligulate, the largest 20 — 2272 m.M. broad, the lower not reduced, cut 

 down to a broad wing into close, blunt, entire, rather as^cending lobes ± 

 3 — S'/i m.M. broad, the lowest anterior lobe slightly elongated. Texture 

 membranaceous ; surfaces finely villose and densely covered with minute, 

 pale-brown glands; veins 12 — 16-jugate, the lowest anastomosing, the next 

 meeting at the sinus. Sori round, minute, in regular rows nearer the main 

 veins than the edge.

(108) D. glaucOJStipes, C. Cbr., Ind. Fil.; Nephrodium glaucostipes, 

 Bedd., Handb. Ind. Ferns, Suppl., 80. 



Rhizome erect or suberect. Stipes scaly at the base, glaucous, as is the 

 main rachis. Fronds 90 — 120 c.M. long, pinnate. Central pinnae 12 — IS c.M. 

 long, 2 — 2^2 c.M. broad, cut down '/s'^^Y i'lto oblong, rounded lobes, lower 

 pinnae very gradually reduced in size, becoming at first small and hastate or 

 semihastate, and at length mere auricles down to almost the base of the stipe. 

 Texture rather papyraceous ; surfaces naked but the costae minutely villose 

 above;, veins in + 10 pairs, the 2 lower ones anastomosing, all soriferous. 

 Sori medial.

Rhizome small, erect. Stipes slender, villous. Fronds pinnate, 30 — 35 

 C.M. long, 5 — 13 c.M. broad, oblong-lanceolate, the lower pinnae gradually 

 reduced. Central pinnae largest, 1 — I'/j c.M. broad, cut ± ^I^-wsly down to 

 the costa into close, rather acute lobes. Texture softly herbaceous; rachis 

 and surfaces copiously furnished with long, white, soft hairs; veins 4 — 5 on
