Near P. verrucosum, Wall. Rhizome scales indistinctly ciliato-dentate, 

 rather entire. Stipes distant, slender, soon naked, ± 10 — IS c.M. long. Fronds 

 small, IS — 20 c.M. long, + 12 — 13 c.M. broad. Pinnae paucijugate (+ 2—3 

 on each side below the terminal one) ; terminal pinna ±10 — 12'/2 e.M. 

 long, the lateral ones similar, sessile, + opposite, articulate, erecto-patent, 

 7 — 8 c.M. long, ± 1 '/a c.M. broad near the base, narrowed gradually towards 

 the acuminate apex, the margin indistinctly crenate or crenato-serrate, the 

 base broadly, abruptly cuneate. Texture subcoriaceous; surfaces naked except 

 a few scattered, deciduous, fimbriate, minute, lanceolate scales on the costae 

 beneath, + hairy in the younger forms ; areolae in 3 rows on each side. Sori 

 confined to the costal areolae, slightly immersed, not very prominent 

 on the upper surface; paraphyses yellow, indistinctly incised at the apex.
