Basal scales squarose/spreading, but perhaps darker than typical? Described as having a light brown center. Haven't looked at this character before. Lamina completely lacking hairs (photo 5 adaxial costa), but with scattered scales with attenuate acumen. Venation obscure. Lustrous sheen, particularly on sterile pinnae. Could be intermediate with (or be) N. falcata? The only definite character I could find between the two was in basal scales, but appears that lamina tend to be more lustrous and pinnae are more petiolate?
