Sori non-indusiate, linear, sometimes elongated, simple or forked, i. e., bi-partite, oblique, often at length confluent ; the 
receptacles elongate above or continued below the forks of the veins. Veins simple or forked from a central costa, or the costa sometimes 
indistinct, venules free. 
Fronds lobed i^innate or bi-pinnate, herbaceous or sub-membranaceous, often farinosely ceraceous, sometimes lanatc beneath, 
rhizome short erect, sometimes annual. 
This genus differs from Grammitis, in having forked sori. (Moore). 
*1. Gymnogramma Javanica. (Blume.) Fronds 1-2 feet high (of which the stipe is 8-10 inches) pinnate, pinnae 2-4 pair with an 
odd one, lanceolate with a longish acumination pungently serrate, lower pinnce sometimes auricled, glabrous above, puberulous 
beneath, veins forked, terminating with a thickened apex, just within the margin. Sori simple or forked, not reaching the margin.

Sori non-indusiate, oblong (sub-globose) solitary ; the receptacles seated at the thickened apices of tlie simple vein which 
occupies each lobe, the margin of the lobe being longitudinally folded sub-cucullately over the sorus, in tlie manner of a spuriou.s in- 
volucre. Veins simple. 
Fronds small, fasciculate, thin, somewhat rigid, pinnatifid, the lower barren lobes longer, the fertile folded longitudinally. 
Rhizome short erect. Small plants with a tendency towards polypodioid structure. (Moore). 
1. Calymmodo7i ciicullatus. (Presl). Caudex very small, ascending, fibroso-radicant, stipites densely ctespitose, 1-2-3 lines long 
fronds membranaceous, 1-5 inches long, linear lanceolate acuminate, deeply nearly to the costa, pinnatifid segments, 1-2 lines long, ovato- 
oblong, recurvo-patent, obtuse entire, those of the upper half of the frond broader fertile, costa and sometimes the frond deciduously piloso-
