Sandwich Islands; in forests, on the island of Hawaii. Rootstock globose. Stipes half round, grooved in front, 8 to 10 inches long, and together with the rhachis paleaceous-hirsute. Fronds coriaceous, from 15 to 18 inches long, and about 12 inches broad, constantly tripinnate; the primary divisions ovate-oblong, pinnatifid, with linear-oblong, often subfalcate and cuneate, -tndentate segments, 3 lines long and nearly one line broad, bearing single or seldom a pair of linear-oblong sori on each segment. Although this is altogether a very distinct plant, yet its habit in some measure resembles the A. patens of Kaulfuss, from which it differs in the fronds being more deeply divided, and seldom bearing more than one sorus on a segment.
