Base fronds rounded-reniform, 20–45 cm long, 8–15 cm wide; upper margin very deeply cut into thin chartaceous finger-like lobes to about 20 cm long and 1.5 cm wide, or rarely entire. Foliage fronds ascending to somewhat pendulous in clusters of up to 11, 4.5–72 cm long; base narrow, tapering gradually to c. 5–10 cm or more, then forking into 1–8 narrow lobes up to 20 cm long and 0.4–3.5 cm wide; undersurface white from crowded stellate hairs. Sporangia covering most of the lower surface of ultimate segments, frequently reaching apex. Spores 50–75 µm long, 32.5–50 µm wide.
