Stipes longer than laminae, 10–25 cm long; scales ovate-subulate, rufo-brown, sometimes glandular at margin. Laminae ovate or triangular in outline, 5–8(–20) by 3–4(–12) cm, bipinnatifid to tripinnatifid; pinnae 5–9 pairs, lower pinnae with short stalk, 2–5 by 1–3 cm, basiscopic side wider than acroscopic side. Sori at margin of lobes, interrupted, protected by reflexed margin of lobes.
