Plants small or of medium size, often somewhat fleshy: leaves various, entire or often much divided, not circinate in vernation; veins forking or netted; base of leaf cap-like, enclosing the succeeding leaf: sporangia scattered, borne on the margin of the much modified fertile portion of the leaf, which is usually separated from the sterile by a stalk, globular in form; the walls several cells in thickness; annulus wanting; dehiscence by a straight horizontal or vertical fissure: prothallium subterranean, tuber-like, chlorophylless, containing mycorrhizal fungi, saprophytic.
