| Medium-sized, fronds thin, oblong-lanceolate, 2-3 pinnate or pinnatifid. |
| A bipinnatifid leaf is a pinnatifid leaf having its segments or divisions also pinnatifid. The primary divisions are pinnae and the secondary ones are pinnules. |
| The leaves are sharply serrated, never pinnate or pinnatifid, sometimes the serration is confined to the apices. |
| The frond of the Common Polypody is cut in a pinnatifid manner. |
| Proteaceae also occur in the Paleocene of New Zealand, and include an incomplete but cuticle-bearing pinnatifid leaf described by Pole as Lomatia novaezelandiae. |
| They are usually twice pinnatifid, the pinnules being connected by a very narrow foliaceous border along the midribs. |
