The best way to differentiate between old coarse B. minus and B. wattsii is to look at the pinnae at the base of the frond: B. wattsii remain large, B. minus diminish in size. B. wattsii are also usually quite a dark green.

Also, B. wattsii tend to prefer darker places, the pinnae are fewer in number than for B. minus, and wider.
