The spear-shaped fronds (Fig. 108) of this species, 2in. to 6in. long and pinnate, are produced from a clustered rootstock. They are provided with stalkless, blunt, oblong leaflets, broader at the base, sUghtly hairy above, and deeply cleft into many oblong, obscurely-toothed lobes of a dull green colour. The rachis (stalk of the leafy portion) and the secondary midribs have their under-side clothed with reddish, chaffy scales.âHooker, Species Filicum, i., p. 63 ; British Ferns, t. 8.

W. lanosaâla-no'-sa (woolly), Hooker. This distinct species is a native of Northern India ; it has been found on the mountains of Kumaon at 11,000ft. to 12,000ft. elevation, and in Sikkim at altitudes varying between 14,000ft. and 16,000ft. Its oblong, pinnate fronds are quite shaggy with copious, soft, long, rusty-coloured hairs, mixed with very narrow, long, chaffy scales. The leaflets, somewhat heart-shaped and toothed, are scarcely cleft again. This plant has much the appearance of a densely-woolly form of W. hyperborea.âHooker, Synopsis Filicum, p. 47.
