Rootstoch long and creeping, about the thickness of a crow-quill, 

 with black lanceolate scales pressed close to the surface. The fronds 

 are few from 10 to 15 inches long (including the smooth and angular 

 stipe), and from 6 to 10 inches in diameter, rather rigid, with both 

 surfaces somewhat wrinkled, having a cordate-hastate base, with from 

 2 to 5 broad-lanceolate, acute or acuminate lobes; each lobe with a 

 very strong vein or costa passing through its centre. Sori few, small, 

 distant, and seated on the recurved venules, which terminate in the 

 nearly quadrangular meshes, formed by the reticulated veins.
