Information
Rhizome creeping, massive, with closely spaced fronds and clothed with a felt of reddish-brown hairs up to 6 mm. long. Stipe pale-brown, up to 80 cm. long, thinly pubescent with pale hairs 0.5–2 mm. long at first, later becoming subglabrous. Lamina up to 1.3 x 0.8 m., elliptic in outline with the lowest pinnae reduced, 2-pinnatifid to 3-pinnatifid, incised to nearly the same depth from apex to base, and with the pinna costa narrowly winged for at least I its length; pinna lobes oblong, adnate to the rhachis, acute to acuminate, crenate, sinuate or pinnatifid into sinuate lobes, the pinna lobes separated by broad sinuses, pubescent with pale soft hairs up to 1.5 mm. long on the costae and costules and less densely on veins and occasionally in the areoles, on both surfaces. Sori up to 2 mm. in diam., mostly semicircular in the small sinuses of the frond segments, longer and lunulate in the larger sinuses; indusia membranous.
