 pairs of pinnae; some flattening of the internode; and the broad flap-Uke flattening 

 of the axis below the second pair of pinnae, with a loose end, which, but for the 

 presence of the lower pair of pinns, would be joined up with the apex by the fully 

 flattened, internodal portion.

 and a rudimentary, leafless, terminal pinna and terminal seta, of the same species.
