Rhizome scandent, irregularly branched, up to 1 m long, or longer, up to 3.5 mm in diam., with long unbranched wiry roots, phyllopodia up to 12 mm long and up to 50 mm apart; scales castaneous, somewhat paler along margins, appressed, imbricate, peltate, lanceolate, up to 5.5 x 1.2 mm, fimbriate. Fronds erect or pendant, up to 290 mm long. Stipe articulated, articulation swollen, stipe firm, stramineous, adaxially sulcate, up to 22 x 1.2 mm, sparsely scaled. Laminae herbaceous, simple, oblong-attenuate to oblong-caudate, entire to shallowly repand, up to 265 x 42 mm, adaxially and abaxially initially set with scales and hairs, scales ferruginous to stramineous, sessile, lanceolate to cordate, fimbriate, up to 2.5 mm long, along the costae, and simple multicellular hairs up to 0.8 mm long, occurring on lamina surface and margins, these soon abraded. Costae adaxially shallowly sulcate, pronounced abaxially; venation evident, pinnately forked, free. Sori circular, inframedial on acroscopic vein branches, scattered in a line parallel to, and on both sides of costa. Indusium castaneous, persistent, reniform, up to 1 mm in diam., entire.
Rhizome very widely creeping, up to 4 mm in diameter, sometimes producing short side-branches, set with appressed (rarely squarrose), narrowly lanceolate, attenuate, variously ciliate rhizome-scales c. 5 mm long with a darker area around point of attachment. Fronds tufted or spaced, thinly membranous to thinly coriaceous, articulated, deciduous; stipe stramineous, up to 45 mm long, with or without scales; lamina usually with caudate apex and broadly cuneate base, subentire to undulate, up to 330 x 65 mm, upper surface glabrous at maturity, lower surface glabrous or thinly pubescent with minute hairs; costa prominent below, stramineous to light castaneous. Sori circular, up to 2 mm in diameter, set in an irregular line; indusia glabrous to glandular, brown, entire, up to 1.5 mm in diameter.
Epilithic or occasionally epiphytic. Rhizome very widely creeping, branched. Leaves many, tufted or widely spaced, arching to rarely erect, deciduous, articulated, simple, narrowly linear-ovate to oblong-elliptic, 140-300 x 15-53 mm. Sporangia in circular sori borne in irregular row on each side of midrib, with round, entire indusium.
Rhizome very widely creeping, set with appressed rhizome scales. Fronds simple, tufted or spaced. Sori superficial on veins, set in an irregular line. Stipe up to 45 mm long. Lamina up to 330 x 65 mm, apex caudate, base broadly cuneate.
