Plants large, evergreen. Lamina bipinnate, leathery or thickly papery. Microscales lanceolate (broad-type). Sori abaxial or nearly terminal on veinlets, indusiate or exindusiate; if sori indusiate then indusia small and falling off early.
About four species: subtropical lowland broad-leaved evergreen forests in SW China and one species extending to Guangxi and Taiwan, and Japan; four species (three endemic) in China.
Polystichum sect. Neopolystichum is tentatively recognized here pending more evidence. The relationship between P. sect. Macropolystichum and P. sect. Neopolystichum is unclear.
