Rhizome creeping, the scales small, scaripse, pale-fuscous, lacerate. Stipes 

 approximate, slender, 1 — 4 c.M. long, clothed with short, fine hairs. Fronds 

 8 — 15 c.M. or more long, 1 — 1'/2 c.M. broad, linear-lanceolate, the apex obtuse, 

 the edge entire or slightly repand, the lower pai-t narrowed. Texture coriace- 

 ous; colour deep-green; the margin and the distinct costa on both sides pro- 

 vided with short, dark-reddish-brown hairs; veins simple or forked, not

 thick, coriaceous, succous, thin and translucid when dry; both surfaces hairy 

 like the stipe; veins pinnate or 2 — 5 X forked, the soriferous branches the
