Description

Description updated from Holttum, Fl. Males., Ser. II, Pterid. 1: 535. 1982 [‘1981’].
Rhizome short creeping, 7–8 mm diameter, bearing sparse hooked hairs. Stipes 13–60 cm long; near base a few hooked hairs and rigid dark scales to 10 x 1 mm bearing pale hooked hairs, rest of stipe glabrous, glossy, ± castaneous. Laminae 18.5–80 by 12–28 cm, very firm, indistinctly dimorphic, slightly flushed with red when dry; apex pinna-like, not or little larger than distal pinnae; pinnae 8–18 pairs, a bud sometimes present at base of uppermost pinna; basal pinnae asymmetric at base, the blade decurrent to the attachment to rachis on acroscopic side, ending 5 mm or more from rachis on basiscopic side. Middle pinnae commonly 7–20 by 0.6–2.5 cm; base always very narrowly cuneate; apex narrowly long acuminate; edges quite entire; costules 3–4 mm apart, at 45° to costa; veins 3–10 pairs (according to width of pinna), almost all anastomosing, not prominent on either side, excurrent veins all free except distal ones; both surfaces quite glabrous. Sori supramedial, elongate along veins, those on connivent veins usually meeting; no hairs on body of sporangia and none seen on stalk; spores with a ± continuous wing and cross-wings.
