Rhizome long-creeping, slender; scales pale brown or dark-marked, triangular, 0.2–1.2 mm long, 0.3–0.4 mm wide, acuminate, cordate at the base, mixed with multicellular hairs. Fronds few, paired or solitary, 15–40 cm tall; stipe 12–24.5 cm long, minutely pubescent or ± glabrous or with few scales at base. Lamina ± triangular-hastate in outline, 11.5–22 cm long, 12–26 cm wide, with scattered flattened white multicellular hairs, essentially trifid, the apical part pinnate with 12 or more pairs of pinnae; pinnae lanceolate, up to 5 cm long, 1.8 cm wide, attenuate at the apex, deeply pinnatifid with ± 10 pairs of pinnatifid segments about 2–7 mm wide; lateral parts similar to apical but with lowest basiscopic pinna well developed, up to 10 cm long; rachis shortly pubescent. Sori round, ± 1 mm in diameter, 1–10 per segment; indusium sub-reniform, fixed on one side only, persistent or ± disintegrating and scarcely visible.
