Traillæ, which has “very large bipinnate fronds, all the pinnules pinnatifid.”
In all botanical works the fronds are incorrectly said to be bipinnate.
The latter are compound, bipinnate (Fig. 7), and have fifty pairs of leaflets, which are linear and obtuse and of a grayish green.
Its leaves are bipinnate, with stalked, shining leaflets that are irregularly cut.
In the former, the leaves are very finely bipinnate, and the general aspect of the foliage is extremely feathery and graceful.
