Rhizome creeping, clothed with grey-fuligineous, lanceolate scales. Stipes 

 approximate, ± 5 c.M. long, clothed like the rachis with straight, castaneous 

 hairs. Fronds + 20 c.M. long, + 4\/j c.M. broad, pinnate, abruptly nar- 

 rowed at both ends. Pinnae suberecto-patent, straight or curved, + 2 •/, c.M. 

 long, + 3*/j m.M. broad, obtuse, decurrent, toothed, only the superior ones 

 confluent, the lower rather remote, abruptly reduced to mere auricles, the 

 teeth reaching '/, — ^/s-way down to the costa, distant, spreading. Texture 

 coriaceo-papyraceous ; costae and apices of the teeth setiferous; veins simple, 

 hidden. Sori superficial, occupying the bases of the veins, often opposite, and 

 the pairs not rarely confluent.
