Stipes 20 — 40 c.M. high, strong, reddish-brown, vdnged, the scales scat- 

 tered, spreading, the wing entire, not narrowed, with a truncate base + 1 c.M. 

 broad on each side. Fronds 30 — 50 c.M. long, ovate, 5-fid with the lateral 

 segments approximate, or often 5-fid with the lowest segments distant. Ter- 

 minal segment 20 — 30 c.M. long, ± 10 c.M. broad, acuminate, entire or sub- 

 repand; lateral segments similar, 10 — 18 c.M. long, 5 — 7 c.M. broad. Texture 

 papyraceous; main veins curved, reaching nearly the margin; transversal veins
