It has bipinnately compound leaves and brush-like flowers with long pinkish filaments.

The blades are bipinnately or tripinnately compound, and each of them is triangular and pointed.

The leaves are pinnately compound on older trees but bipinnately compound on vigorous young trees.

Bipinnately compound leaves are twice divided: the leaflets are arranged along a secondary vein that is one of several branching off the rachis.

The leaves are dark green, coarsely bipinnately lobed, with a smooth, waxy surface and sharp yellow-brown to whitish spines at the tips of the lobes.

Some species have fronds reaching 3-4 m in length, and have a final crown width of some 6 m. The fronds are circinate before unfolding and usually pinnately or bipinnately compound, with deeply pinnately lobed leaflets.
