The fronds are divided to the base into two spreading fan-shaped halves, each divided more than half way into 4 unequal lobes, these lobes are again less deeply lobed once or more times. The ultimate lobes taper to a narrow apex with the edges deeply toothed. The main veins are dischotomously branched several times. The sori are small, of irregular size and shape and scattered all over the lower surface of the frond or part of it. Indusia are absent.
