Sori: Numerous, small, round, positioned along the veins near the midrib of each pinnule; indusia thin, translucent, attached at one side, early becoming reflexed or detached. Spores light brown, finely papillate.
Habitat & elevation: Moist rock crevices, shaded limestone cliffs, screes, and mountain springs; also along stream banks and damp forest slopes. Occurs from 800 to 2 600 m in Lebanon, often in cool, humid microhabitats protected from direct sun exposure.
Lebanese distribution: Recorded by Mouterde from high mountains of Mount Lebanon — notably Barouk, Dahr el-Baïdar, and the Sannine–Makmel range; rare but locally abundant near perennial springs and shaded rocks.
