Genus

Pteridophytes > Polypodiales > Polypodiaceae > Loxogrammoideae

Characteristics

Rhizome very shortly to long creeping, occasionally branching; roots forming a spongy mass; scales clathrate, uniformly orange-brown to blackish, entire, elongate, basifixed. Articulation between phyllopodium and frond none, or evident but not functional, or functional. Entire plant, except for roots, lacking sclerenchyma. Lamina simple, monomorphic to dimorphic, linear, narrowly elliptic, oblanceolate, or spatulate to orbicular, entire, thinly to thickly papery, margin not cartilaginous, drying revolute or involute. Lamina surface glabrous except for minute 2-celled clavate glandular hairs. Veins regularly anastomosing with many, few, or without free included veinlets; hydathodes absent. Sori exindusiate, elongate, oblique or subparallel to costa, discrete, paraphyses multicellular, hairlike. Sporangial stalk 1-or 2-celled at base; annulus with 12-16 hardened cells. Spores greenish (at time of dispersal), globose-trilete, or ellipsoid-monolete, surface finely verrucose. n = 35, 36.
