This perennial herb grows 20 to 40 centimeters tall and has compound leaves made up of several rounded leaflets.

A leaflet in botany is a leaf-like part of a compound leaf.

Its large compound leaves are pinnate and measure from 40 to 100 cm (16-40 in) long.

These finger-like segments are not individual leaves, but parts of a single compound leaf.

The middle vein of a compound leaf or a frond, when it is present, is called a rachis.

Each compound leaf contains 15-33 pairs of bright green leaflets 5-6 mm long.

Each leaflet is 2.5-11 cm long and 12-45 mm wide, with those towards the end of the compound leaf tending to be smaller.

It has compound leaves and an odd number of leaflets, which grow opposite to one another along its branches.

A terminal leaflet is seen on the end of the compound leaf.

Abruptly pinnate - a compound leaf without a terminal leaflet.
