Notes

Pellaea dura is a fern with erect rhizome, with fronds in clumps, from 19 to 60 (-100) cm long, with narrow scales, pale and colorless to light (Fig. 12a, bFig. 12a). The stipe is black, brown or purple, 5-39cm long, covered at the base with linear scales. The lamina is oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 15-58 cm long and 8-18 cm wide, pinnate. There are 6 to 21 pairs of lateral pinnae, oblong-lanceolate, oblong or oblong-oval, 6-10 cm long, 1-1.5 cm wide, stalked, base rounded or slightly cordate (Fig. 12c). The leaf blade is smooth and has a leathery texture. Midrib is almost black in its lower part. The veins are usually invisible. The indusium is usually hidden by the sori (Fig. 12d). The plant usually grows on the banks of rivers, roadsides, cliffs and rocks in the forest.
