Rhizome creeping, c. 8 mm in diameter, set with membranous, reddish brown, acuminate, erose rhizome-scales c. 8 x 3.5 mm. Fronds spaced, coriaceous; stipe brown, sulcate ventrally, set with light brown scales, becoming glabrous with age; lamina pentagonal, 3-pinnate to 4-pinnatifid, basal pinnae largest and greatly developed basiscopically; pinnules ovate-deltate, leading edge wider and first segment more deeply incised; ultimate segments ovate or oblong, obtuse, margin crenate-dentate, upper surface glabrous, lower surface set with occasional scales on veins. Sori c. 2 mm in diameter; indusium peltate.
Rhizome 1-1.5 cm thick. Scales pale to dark brown; margins entire or minutely toothed; apices acuminate. Fronds scattered, 20-90 cm long. Stipe often as long as the lamina, with thin brown peltate scales. Lamina ovate to deltate, 10-50 cm long, 7-40 cm wide, bright green to yellow-green above, paler and dull beneath; ultimate segments oblong, crenate to bluntly lobed; veins immersed. Sori black at maturity; indusium with a dark centre.
Rhizome widely creeping, up to 20 mm in diam., densely scaled. Fronds erect or arching, spaced, up to 1.2 m long. Stipe scaled, adaxial sulcus centrally ridged. Lamina pentagonal, up to 500 x 400 mm, 3-pinnate to 4-pinnatifid, proximal pinnae basiscopically developed; ultimate segments coriaceous, ovate, crenate-dentate, sparsely scaled abaxially. Sori round, up to 1.8 mm in diam. Indusium peltate, entire.
Rhizomatous perennial. Fronds arching, to 1.2 m long, stipe scaled, lamina coriaceous, pentagonal, 3-pinnate to 4-pinnatifid, proximal pinnae basiscopically developed, ultimate segments ovate, margins crenate-dentate, sparsely scaled beneath. Sori circular, indusium peltate.
