[Taxacom] German to English Dictionary for Botany?

[Francisco Welter-Schultes]

It is a noun in plural, directly translated feather segments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_anserina

Picture upper right: In German we say this plant has a "feathered" leaf 
(gefiedertes Blatt). This is the same word you would use for a bird, 
which has a feathered body. The small leaf units of which it is composed 
are called Fieder (singular), Fiedern (plural).

If the Fiedern in some plants are themselves composed of minute Fiedern 
(maybe in English this is called doubly pinnate), then the minute 
Fiedern are called Fiederchen or Fiedern zweiter Ordnung. So there exist 
terms for that, maybe Fiedersegmente is a complementary term to express 
largely the same.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Francisco
