venisque dichotomis pilis articulatis hirsutis; soris parvis in deute

„Stipe smooth. Fronds very large, tripinnate, 
gl ab ro us on both sides, flaccid, the upper surface somewhat, 
shining. The primary and secondary divisions are alternate and 
spreading, oblong-lanceolate, and contracted rather suddenly 
into a finely serrated point. Pinnnies about hall' an inch in 
length, approximate, lance-oblong, obtuse, o bli q u e 1 y - c u- 
neate at the base, lobate-serrate, tlie points of the lobes 
sometimes bluntly toothed and slightly recurved, the lower and su- 
perior one invariably the largest. The rhachis of the primary 
and secondary pinnae on the upper side are partially furnished with 
a short rufous pubescence; while on the under side only the se¬ 
condary ones, with the costa and veins, are beset with scattered 
articulated hairs. Sori very small, a single one being 
seated on a short tooth arising froni the inner edge of the 
lobes of the pinnules, n e a r the base o f the s i n u s e s. I n d u- 
sium reflexed, cup-shaped, its mouth quite entire.“ 
„This species is closely related to Dicksonia apiifolia Sw.; but 
it is distinguished by its more reflexed, cup-shaped indusium, and 
apparently larger fronds.“
