Virtually no scales on the rachis. There are scales and eglandular hairs on the young croziers, but it looks like they drop off as the frond develops.

Fronds are 300 x 30 mm, pinnae in c. 20 pairs, stalked at frond base, partially adnate at mid frond to upper frond, largest pinna 16 x 8 mm. Not a match for Blechnum membranaceum or B. chambersii.
