Foliage fronds ascending, 23–90 cm or more long, to 60 cm wide; base cuneate, spreading out to a broad apex; distal one-third forked 1–5 times; ultimate segments oblong, 1–6 cm wide, dark green, glabrous or almost so. Sporangia covering most of the undersurface of ultimate segments of foliage fronds, frequently reaching apex and sometimes extending around sinus of the ultimate fork. Spores 40–52.5 µm long, 20–35 µm wide.
