Anogramma leptophylla

Rhizome very short, poorly developed, growing from a perennial gametophyte. Fronds tufted, erect or spreading, delicate, very small, usually 2–8 cm long (up to 12 cm). Stipe slender, pale to reddish-brown, shiny, glabrous except for few hairs at base. Lamina oblong-triangular, very deeply lobed to 2-pinnate, sometimes with shorter, fan-shaped, barren frond in addition to pinnately divided fertile fronds, delicate, glabrous. Pinnae somewhat distant, stalked; pinnules wedge-shaped at base, rounded and deeply lobed. Sori on undersurface of lobes, clustered along veins, sometimes coalescing.
