I am estimating: " Rachis scales mostly 3–4 mm long; pinnae 22–56 mm long " <–quotation from Flora of NSW online PlantNet .
Including reasonably, I used your finger as an approximate centimetre wide 'stick' for scaling up to estimate some several pinnae have lengths longer than 25 mm (re.: _Pellaea nana_ ) .
