Rhizome short, the scales brown, linear-lanceolate, acuminate, subdeuticu- 

 late. Fronds dense, sessile, spalhulale-cuneate, 10—25 c.M. long, 3 — 5 c.M. 

 broad, the fully developed ones broadest near the blunt apex, narrowed gra- 

 dually to the base, the sides nearly straight, entire. Texture coriaceous; costa 

 distinct, but lost in the upper \ — '/4 of the frond. Sori short or long, mostly 

 free, slightly sunk, the edges of the grooves slightly raised; paraphyses linear, 

 the apex capitate-clavate.

Rhizome scaly like the base of llie stipes, the scales black, denticulate. 

 Fronds spathulate-lanceolate, 13—50 c.M. long, 2— 4Vi c.M. broad, the base 

 narrowed gradually into the winged slipe, the apex short-acuminate. Texture 

 thinly chartaceous but firm, rigid; colour pale-green; cosla visible in the lower 

 half; areolae in 6—8 rows on each side, the ceuti-al ones moderately elongate, 

 the lateral + as broad as long. Sori immersed in the numerous grooves, 

 continuous or interrupted, hardly reticulate; pai-aphyses branched, the apices 

 globoso-capilate.
