Leaf ecirrate to 40 cm; petiole very short or absent; rachis covered in dark brown hairs; leaflets c. 7 on each side of the rachis, rather broad lanceolate with 3 conspicuous veins, the terminal leaflet pair joined for about 21 3 their length, the others &#177; regular, alternate, the mid leaflets c. 14 x 2.5 cm, the basalmost much shorter and swept back across the stem, all leaflet surfaces densely covered by soft pale hairs, the margins appearing ciliate.
