My specimen of this is from Captain Carmichael; and it 
wants the lower part of the stipes, so that I am ignorant of the — 
nature of its root. The frond is fourteen inches long (much 
larger than Willdenow describes it), dark brown, flaccid, truly 3 
bipinnate; the ultimate segments and involucres as in T. strictum, 
Menz. (Hook. and Grey. Ic. Fil. t. 122), but the former are | 
more compoundly divided and more flaccid. "
