 20-- 40 c.M. long, 5 — 8 c.M. broad, lanceolate, narrowed towards both ends. 

 Pinnae close, nearly horizontal, 3 '/a — 5 m.M. broad, numerous, entire, bluntish, 

 subconfluent at the base, the lower ones reduced. Texture coriaceous; costae 

 indistinct, slightly hairy beneath like the margin; veins simple. Sori immers-

 the cavities ciliate at the margin, the ciliae covering the sori when young-

 long, 2 m.M. broad, spreading, blunt, not close, connected at the base by a 

 narrow wing; lower pinnae suddenly i-educed so as to form an undulate wing 

 to the rachis. Texture papyraceo-coriaceous ; surfaces naked, under side +
