Epiphytic. Rhizome short, suberect, bearing fronds in a tuft, usually also with old fronds, scaly; scales linear, up to 5 by 0.4 mm, brown or bright brown, with 3–6 rows of longitudinal cells, entire. Stipes indistinct or to 4 mm long, green to brown, winged to the very base, glabrous. Laminae linear, up to 5–20(–53) cm by 2–7(–9) mm, gradually narrowing towards both apex and base, deeply lobed almost to midrib; sterile lobes subtriangular, the acroscopic edges almost straight, nearly perpendicular to midrib, the basiscopic edges almost straight or slightly curved, forming about 45° to midrib, the apex moderately acute, 3–4 mm in both length and width; thinly leathery, glabrous or nearly so except on midrib, veins hardly visible, simple; fertile lobes at middle or apical portion of fronds, sometimes mixed with sterile ones, each bearing a sorus, circular to broadly elliptic in outline, deeply sunken in rimless pouches in the margin of the lamina, prominent on upper surface.
