[Overview]
An evergreen fern seen in forests in low mountains and mountain areas.
It has a rhizome.
The fronds are oblong and odd-pinnately compound, with 10–20 pairs of lateral pinnae.
The lateral pinnae are triangular-oblong and slightly curved like a sickle, pale green with little gloss, and often have an ear-like projection at the base.
The tips of the pinnae extend into a tail, and the upper part is serrate.
The lateral pinnae have short stalks.
The sori are round and cover the whole underside of the frond; the indusium is grayish white with a blackish brown center.
The base of the stipe is densely covered with brown to blackish brown scales.
