Lamina narrowly ovate to narrowly obovate, up to 130 x 40 mm, pinnatisect. Rachis proximally dark brown to black, adaxially turning green towards lamina apex, proximally terete or adaxially flattened, shallowly sulcate towards lamina apex, mostly narrowly green-winged higher up, proximally moderately scaled adaxially, densely scaled abaxially; segments pale to dark green, firmly herbaceous, patent, alternate, adnate, oblong-obtuse, lanceolate-obtuse, ovate-obtuse, to transversely broadly ovate towards lamina base, decurrent at base, up to 25 x 9 mm, entire or shallowly irregularly lobed, repand, or unevenly shallowly lobed, glabrous adaxially, densely scaled abaxially. Sori up to 10 pairs per segment, linear, up to 2.5 mm long. Indusium obsolete.
Terrestrial or epilithic. Rhizome short, erect or procumbent, with shining lanceolate scales. Fronds tufted, suberect to spreading, pinnatifid to pinnate, lamina oblong, 65-90 x 20-40 mm, basal pinnae reduced, glabrous adaxially, covered with pale brown, overlapping scales abaxially, texture thinly coriaceous, involute when dry; pinnae ovate-oblong, adnate to rachis, decurrent, margins wavy to crenate-incised; rachis and stipe blackish, with shining, reddish, lanceolate scales. Sporangia in linear sori, becoming confluent, sometimes obscured by scales.
Perennial with short, erect rhizome. Fronds to 14 cm long, erect or spreading; stipe to 1 cm long, densely scaled, lamina narrowly elliptic, pinnatisect, rachis proximally dark brown, green towards apex, adaxially flattened or shallowly grooved, segments to 1.7 cm long, pale to dark green above, firmly herbaceous, adnate, oblong-obtuse, lanceolate-obtuse, ovate-obtuse, to transversely broadly ovate, entire to repand, upper surface glabrous, densely scaled below.
