 hairs. Fronds linear-lanceolate, 20—23 c.M. long, ± 10 m.M. broad, narrowed 

 towards both ends. Texture coriaceous ; costa prominent'below, hairy; surfaces

Rhizome short, clothed with blackish scales. Stipes tufted, rigid, light- 

 brown, 3 — 4 c.M. long, furnished like the costa with short hairs, sometimes

 moderately narrowed towards both ends, the edge entire or slightly wavy. 

 Texture coriaceous; surfaces naked or short-hairy; costa blackish and promi- 

 nent beneath ; veins hidden, pinnate on the anterior side ; veinlets 3 — 4, the
