Detailed explanation-1: -In a simple leaf, such as the banana leaf, the blade is completely undivided. The leaf shape may also be formed of lobes where the gaps between lobes do not reach to the main vein. An example of this type is the maple leaf.

Detailed explanation-2: -A leaf that has only one blade on its petiole is called a simple leaf. Most plants have sim-ple leaves. A leaf that has multiple blades, or leaflets, is called a compound leaf.

Detailed explanation-3: -A simple leaf is a leaf blade that is one piece, although it may be deeply lobed, divided or dissected. A compound leaf is a leaf with 2 or more distinct leaflets.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some common plants exhibiting simple leaves are Maples, Oregano, pear plants, Sycamore and many more. In simple leaves, the leaf is joint to a stem via petiole with no subdivisions. The true leaf is attached directly to the tree-bud.
