[Overview]
An evergreen fern found in forests, growing attached to rocks and tree trunks, rarely on the ground, and often growing mixed with mosses.
It often grows in mats; the rhizome is thin, wire-like and long-creeping, with fairly dense blackish brown hairs.
The leaves are either fan-shaped simple leaves 0.7–1.5 cm long or oblong pinnate leaves, with irregularly cut margins and linear lobes with rounded tips.
The leaf stalk is short, 1 cm or less in length, with blackish brown hairs at the base, and has no wings.
The sori are borne at the ends of the veins on the leaf margin; the indusium is cup-shaped with a reflexed lip, and the receptacle extends long.
Gemmae (asexual buds) are sometimes produced during the rainy season.
[Cultivation]
It prefers shade and an environment with high humidity in the air.
