Sori round or oblong, borne on distal ends or on the apical parts of veins, or forming continuous conenosori borne on the vascular commissure connecting the vein-ends, without true indusium, but protected by the modified and sharply reflexed leaf-margin and opening introrsely; sporangia developing in mixed sequence, with vertical annulus.
