The caudex is stout, erect and densely covered with glossy brown scales. The stripes are erect 10 to 40 centimeters long. The fronds are 20 to 200 centimeters long and 10 to 40 centimeters wide. The pinnae are 5 to 20 centimeters long and 0.5 to 2 centimeters wide, and sessile. The sori are arranged in a long continous line close to the costae.

 

According to Casius the rhizomes are used in China as an anthelmintic. Burkill reports that the Malays eat them. They also poultice boils with them. Hooper found the rhizome among drugs from Chinese pharmacies in the Straits. It seems that the Chinese use it in urinary complaints.

Coffee Alamid or café alamid is the most expensive coffee in the world.  This coffee is being produced in a not so traditional way. Usually coffee is being harvested from the coffee tree and then brewed but coffee alamid is produced by slightly fermenting it or slightly digesting it first. The mode of fermentation is done by the wild civet , the civet  eats the coffee beans and after partial digestion it will pass through as droppings’. This droppings are then harvested and turned into what we know as Café Alamid or Coffee Alamid. In some provinces they harvest Coffee alamid in the wilds, they hire people to   search the forest for civet’s droppings.
