This species reaches up to \u003cstrong\u003e2 meters\u003c\/strong\u003e in height and forms dense clumps with thin, reed-like stems measuring \u003cstrong\u003e1–2 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e in diameter.

The leaflets resemble a fish tail in shape and have characteristic \u003cstrong\u003eserrated edges\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the plant a unique appearance. The upper surface of the leaves is a deep dark green, while the underside stands out with a beautiful \u003cstrong\u003esilvery-white shade\u003c\/strong\u003e – this color contrast creates a striking visual effect, especially noticeable with the gentle movement of the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:12pt;\"\u003eAn interesting trait of the species is its high morphological variability – there are many local forms of this palm differing in leaflet width.
