型態特徵
Caudex short, globose; stipes green, fleshy, with pulvinus at base. Fronds large, bipinnate, pinnae with pulvini at bases of rachillae; veins free, recurrent veins often present between true veins, running from margin towards costule. Sporangia dehiscing by a longitudinal slit. Spores trilete, scabrate. Young plants much like Archangiopteris; lamina pinnate; stipe with pulvinus about 255 cm above base (small bi-pinnate fronds lack this pulvinus); pinnae narrower than in Archangiopteris (about 2 cm broad) and have recurrent veins.
