Differs from the type by its basal scales that are of a deep brown. colour, 
glossy; scales of stipe and rachises more bright brown but darker and a little broader 
than those of the type; in structure and shape they scarcely differ. Both surfaces, 
especially the upper one, very densely glanduloso-pubescent; colour of lamina when 
fresh grass-green, when dried yellowish or brownish green. Sori somewhat supramedial. 
Indusia not found. 
This variety apparently approaches the species of the group of D. hirta by the | 
colour of the basal scales, but they have the same soft, silky appearance as those ° 
of typical D. ampla, and the shape of the basal pinne is as in D. ampla. From 
D. equestris it differs by soft texture, dense pubescence by glandular hairs, by more 
lanceolate scales of the axils of the pinne etc.
