This beautiful fern may appear as a large, low-growing fern with a creeping rhizome or as a tall tree fern with an upright, trunk-like rhizome. The lower leaf stalks are surrounded by brown, hairlike scales. The large, gracefully arching fronds are pinnately compound with leathery, narrowly oval-shaped pinnae that are shiny green above and greenish white below. The new leaves are a distinctive flame-like red to orange colour. Fertile fronds have dark brown sori on the undersides of their pinnae, while sterile fronds do not. The sori line either side of the single, prominent midvein for most of the length of the pinna.

This beautiful fern is indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands and thrives in moist forests understories and colonizes upland lava flows. I've seen it at higher elevations on Maui in Kula and in the Makawao Forest Reserve . .
