Asplenium lamprophyllum Carse

Rhizome creeping horizontally or slightly ascending, stout, up to 15 cm. or more long, emitting, at least in young plants, very slender horizontal roots up to ± 10 cm. long, bearing buds that produce offset plants. Stipites clustered to approximate. Stipes (10)-15-20 cm. long, deeply grooved above, ± paleate, stout, winged. Rhachis stout, winged, as are costae. Lamina 10-60 × 10-15 cm., lanceolate-oblong, submembr., rather pale green, very glossy above, bipinnate, acuminate. Primary pinnae numerous, 10-15 × 2.5-5 cm., lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, decurrent; again pinnate in lower part, pinnatifid in upper. Secondary pinnae 15-30 × (5)-10-15 mm., about oblong, crenately lobed, sessile by cuneately narrowed decurrent base. Sori narrow-oblong, 3-10 mm. long, nearer costule than margin; indusium firm.

Asplenium lamprophyllum Carse

Rhizome creeping, up to 15 cm long, pale green with a few scattered scales, stoloniferous. Stipes 6-20 cm long, pale green above, brown below, deeply grooved, covered in small, very dark, triangular to ovate scales which have thick cell walls (Fig. 17F-J). Laminae lanceolate to elliptic, 15-60 × 7-20 cm, light green, glossy above, thin, bipinnate. Raches green, scaly, prominently grooved. Pinnae 12-20 pairs, lanceolate to narrowly ovate, acuminate, stalked, 3-10 × 0.5-2.5 cm, scaly on underside; lower pinnae themselves pinnate, upper ones pinnatifid. Pinnules sessile or shortly stalked, elliptic, often deeply serrate, 10-20 × 5-15 mm. Sori 3-10 mm long, nearer mid-vein than margin. Sporangia orangebrown. Spores (30)38-42(50) mcm long, (20)24-29(35) mcm wide (4 populations), perispore very pale and not prominently patterned (Fig. 30E-F).
