The adult frond typically expands out from the central axis and consist a series of lobed or pinnately divided pinnules. Pinnules that are likely to be affected by spot may first show signs of slight yield or loss of leaf, and dry or wrinkled texture. The normal pinnules are of average size, which is approximately 10-20 mm long and 5-10 mm wide.
