Rhizome slender, creeping, the scales lanceolate. Stipes slender, erect, 

 scaly, 4 — 10 c.M. long helow the winged portion. Fronds 10 — 20 c.M. long, 

 with an entire terminal lohe 5 — 10 c.M. long, \ — \\ c.M. broad, and 

 2 — 4 similar lohes on each side, which are suberect or erecto-patent, narrowed 

 gradually towards an acute or bluntish point, connected by a costal wing 3 — S 

 m.M. broad, the lowest gradually decurrent upon the stipe. Texture thin 

 but firm ; under surface minutely hairy ; costa and costulae + scaly beneath, 

 prominent like the primary veins, which stop short and unite at + \ of 

 the way to the margin, forming 1 series of large primai'y areolae on each 

 side, each with commonly 1 sorus in the narrower and mostly 2 sori in the 

 broader segments; secondary areolae in and beyond the primary ones fine, 

 indistinct, with few free veinlels. Sori small, rather oblong.

Stipes moderately long, naked, stramineous. Fronds lanceolate-oblong, 

 17—20 c.M. long, 7—10 c.M. broad, deeply pinnatifid, the base hardly nar- 

 rowed. Segments 8 — 9-jugate, contiguous, lanceolate, entire, acute, confluent 

 at the base, 1V4— I'/i ^.M. broad. Texture moderately firm; surfaces naked; 

 areolae hexagonal, copious, with free veinlets. Sori large, semiglobose, su- 

 perficial, in 1 — 2 rows on each side of the costulae.

Rhizome woody, scaleless. Stipes 50—45 c.M. long, firm, erect. Fronds 

 45—60 c.M. long or shorter, 25—30 c.M. or more broad, cut down nearly 

 to the rachis below (within IV2 c.M. above) into few or numerous (4—50), 

 rather distant or more close, erecto-patent, repand, linear-oblong, acuminate 

 lobes 27j c.M. or more broad. Texture papyraceo-herbaceous ; both surfaces 

 naked; main veins distinct to the edge; areolae copious, with free veinlets. 

 Sori in rows of 5 — 4 near the costulae.
