Characteristics

Plants terrestrial. Rhizome ascending, short, thick, bearing numerous scales on rhizome apex and stipe, smaller upward on rachis and lower side of costae; scales chestnut-brown, linear, margin toothed. Fronds tufted, bright bluish green above when fresh, narrowly elliptic-lanceolate, 1-pinnate; stipe and rachis not or only slightly channeled, not winged; pinnae alternate, mostly sessile, lowest pinnae shortly stalked, upper pinnae falcate, glabrescent adaxially, subentire, usually articulate to rachis; costa prominent above, not grooved; veins free, forked several times. Sori orbicular, dorsal on veinlets, in 1-4 rows on each side of costa; indusia peltate; spores bilateral, ellipsoid, with perispore folds, granular. n = 41.

More

Caudex short, erect, its scales narrow, entire or with marginal teeth formed by outgrowths from single cells; fronds simply pinnate; rachis rounded on both surfaces in living plants, the lower surface bearing small scales and short erect multicellular hairs, upper surface almost glabrous; pinnae sessile, articulate to the rachis, subentire, their bases cordate at least on the basiscopic side (hastate on one species); unicellular glands lacking; veins free, arising from the costae of pinnae in paucipinnate groups, the lower veinlets not nearly reaching the margin; sori dorsal on lateral veinlets, in one to several irregular rows parallel to the costa; indusia peltate.
