Rhizome creeping, more or less densely clothed with linear, brown, seti- 

 form scales. ' Stipes approximate, 7-15 c.M. long, naked, polished, often 

 reddish, the base clothed with setiform scales. Fronds linear-lanceolate* 15— 50 

 c.M. long, + 2 — 4 c.M. broad, simply pinnate. Leaflets to 1 c.M. broad, 

 not imbricate, triangular, the lower margin straight or slightly curved 

 (usually upwards), the upper edge crenate, so that the c'ontinuity of the line 

 of fructification is broken, sometimes nearly entire, lower leaflets short- 

 stalked. Texture firm-membranaceous. Sbri 1 — 5 m.M. broad, in an intramar- 

 ginal line, only broken by the crenations, slightly concave.

(186) li. erassipes, Rst., Fed., Rep., V, 36. 



Rhizome short-creeping, branched, the scales minute, linear-lanceolate. 

 Stipes dense, flexuose, black-brown, polislfed, slender, naked, to nearly 10 c.M. 

 long. Fronds linear-lanceolate, to 18 c.M. long, to 2 c.M. broad at the centre, 

 simply pinnate. Leaflets alternate, subremote, trapezio-ovate, on stalks 1 — I'/a 

 m.M. long, the medial ones, nearly 1 c.M. Jong, */2 "M. broad, narrowed at 

 the apex, with the upper edge 2-crenate, the lower ones smaller, rounded at 

 the apex, 5 — 5-cfenate, the higher ones gradually growing smaller, entire, 

 narrowed at the apex. Texture coriaceous; surfaces naked, the upper one 

 dark-green, the under one somewhat paler; rachis black-brown, flavido- 

 marginate above; veins slightly visible, dichotomous. Sori interrupted by the 

 crenations.

Rhizome long, creeping or scandent, densely clothed with short, lanceo- 

 late scales. Fronds sessile or short-stalked, '/i — * ^■^^- apart, lanceolate-
