Plants medium-sized to large, terrestrial, ± with acicular hairs. Rhizomes short and thick, decumbent or ascending, sessile, with sparse scales. Fronds clustered or approximate; stipes strong, with sparse brown lanceolate scales at bases; laminae elliptic, not tapering to bases, pinnate-pinnatifid; pinnae large, linear-lanceolate, sessile, free, opposite or subopposite, pinnatifid nearly to costae; rachises rectangular abaxially, flat, glabrous or with sparse short hairs, when dry reddish, costae grooved adaxially and densely hairy abaxially; segments large, falcate-lanceolate. Veins free, pinnate on segments, veinlets simple, prominent and reaching margins, proximal pair only reaching nearby line of transparent membrane below sinus or to margins above sinuses. Laminae herbaceous, papery or leathery, when dry yellowish green, rachises and costae ± with grayish white long hairs on both sides, not glandular. Sori orbicular, attached at bases of veinlets, in a row on each side close to costules, usually confluent into a line when mature, exindusiate or indusiate. Sporangia usually with acicular hairs near tops. Spores elliptic, bilateral, irregularly echinate or small tuberculate on surfaces. x = 12(36).
Twelve species: Bhutan, China, N India, S Japan, N Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, N Vietnam; 11 species (ten endemic) in China.
