Diagnosis

Plants with isophyllous vegetative and fertile leaves. Basal portion of lamina cuneate (widest distally), with narrow, decurrent, fusiform base. Basal lamina adaxially curved sharply near midpoint, distal margin divided into fi ve slender laminar segments. Leaves densely arranged in low-angle parastichies. Sporangia globose, adaxial, attached proximally between leaf base and point of adaxial curvature.
