Hab. New Zealand ; in woods, in the vicinity of Wangarara Bay. 



Stipes smooth and channelled in front. Fronds membranaceous, 

 flaccid, and bipinnate. Pinnules oblong-lanceolate, pinnatifid; the seg- 

 ments oblong, obtuse, serrate; the secondary rhachis compressed. 

 Sori numerous, linear-oblong, situated close to the costa; indusmm 

 vaulted. 



This has very much the appearance of the preceding species : but 

 the segments are not so deeply serrated, and the indusium is less 

 membranaceous.

Plant csespitose, H to 2 feet high. Stipes usually a little shorter 

 than the fronds, of a pale straw colour, half round, channelled in front,
