It looks correct, but it is critical to look at the under-side of the frond to be sure of ID in this genus.

Yep, I've compared your close-up with my shots of dicarpa and microphylla and unfortunately it's not possible to tell the difference without a close-up of the leaf underside: leaflet segments are pouched in dicarpa and flat in microphylla. Better luck next time.

Thanks for the info, I'll take some more photos when I'm next there. Maybe January 2020.

Meantime I'm going to reject this sighting as unidentifiable, so it doesn't keep clogging up the unidentified records page.
