Fronds stipitate, lamina simple, margin entire, veins distinct, somewhat raised on both sides, 1–2 × forked at or near the costa, costa often with narrow scales, lamina and veins often with acicular or capitate hairs. Sori in one, often irregular row on each side of the costa, with a more or less reniform, glabrous or hairy indusium. Sporangia stalked, stalk often with a number of sessile or stalked glands below the sporangium, sporangium body glabrous, spores monolete, perispore with broad wings, sometimes highly perforate, or echinate, massive.
