Broad, often halberd- or arrow-shaped fronds, sometimes once-divided with large leaflets, growing from a creeping or upright rhizome; round spore clusters dot the frond underside, each typically covered by a shield- or kidney-shaped flap.
As true ferns this family has no flowers or seeds — its broad, sometimes halberd-shaped leaflets are unusually large and simple compared to the finely divided fronds of most other fern families.
