I have only seen the description of this striking fern in
the 'Ferns of Malaya' by Christ.
It had a stout rhizome, J inch through, covered with a
dense coat of closest black subulate hairs; stems over two feet
tall, glabrous, except at the base, more than ^ inch through;
lamina 6 inches long and wider, coriaceous, bifurcating thrice,
cuneate at the base; ultimate segments linear, acuminate,
subacute; main nerves forming square areolae; the reticulations
