Habit and venation of Nephrodium, i.e. 
fronds pinnate, veins pinnate, one or more 
of the lower veinlets anastomosing at an 
angle with corresponding ones of the next 
group producing from their junction an 
ex-current veinlet. Indusium wanting. 
Genus XXXVII.—Goniopteris Presi. 
Eremobryoid Series.—Stipes articulated 
with the rhizome. Sori generally, not 
always, terminal on the veins. 
Sori round or oval, superficial or buried 
in the hairs. Fronds as a rule simple, 
covered beneath with a dense coating of 
stellate hairs. Veins copiously anastomos- 
ing, obscure, undefined cr evident with the 
main veins prominent. Fertile fronds 
more or less contracted and longer than 
the sterile. 
Genus XXXVIII.—Niphobolus. Kaulf, 
Rhizome short, thick and fleshy. Fronds 
rigid, the sterile when present like an oak- 
leaf; fertile frord pinnatifid or pinnate, 
rarely simple. Veins copiously anastomos- 
ing forming square or hexagonal areoles. 
Sori small, round or oval, numerous.
