--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>0.5–1.5 mm diam.; scales 1.5–3 mm. <b>Fertile</b> leaves usually 10–32 cm. <b>Petiole</b> 6–20 cm, with sparse glandular hairs distally; scales 2–5 mm. <b>Blade</b> broadly deltate, 2–3-pinnate-pinnatifid, 4–12 cm, lax and delicate, abaxial surface and rachis glabrous or with occasional glandular hairs, adaxial surface glabrous. <b>Pinna</b> apex entire, rounded. <b>Proximal</b> pinnae 3–10 cm, ± perpendicular to rachis, with basiscopic pinnules ± perpendicular to costa; basal basiscopic pinnules stalked or sessile, pinnate-pinnatifid or pinnatifid, if sessile then with basal basiscopic pinnulet (division of pinnule) always shorter than adjacent pinnulet; 2d basal basiscopic pinnule infrequently stalked, if sessile then with basal basiscopic pinnulet shorter than adjacent pinnulet; basal acroscopic pinnule occasionally stalked, if sessile then with basal basiscopic pinnulet shorter than adjacent pinnulet. <b>Pinnae</b> of 2d pair usually stalked, if sessile then with basal basiscopic pinnule shorter than adjacent pinnule and equaling basal acroscopic pinnule; basal acroscopic pinnule shorter than adjacent pinnule, often with entire, rounded apex. <b>Pinnae</b> of 3d pair usually sessile with basal basiscopic pinnule shorter than adjacent pinnule and equaling or shorter than basal acroscopic pinnule; basal acroscopic pinnule equaling or shorter than adjacent pinnule. <b>Ultimate</b> segments of proximal pinnae oblong, entire to crenate, apex entire, rounded. <b>Spores</b> 27–31 µm. <b>2n</b> = 80.</span><!--
