Detailed explanation-1: -A leaf in which the blade is divided, forming two or more distinct blades or leaflets on a common axis is a compound leaf .
Detailed explanation-2: -Bipinnately compound (or double compound) leaves are twice divided; the leaflets are arranged along a secondary vein, which is one of several veins branching off the middle vein. Each leaflet is called a “pinnule”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Part of the Biodiversity Counts Curriculum Collection. Twice pinnate: The leaflets are also divided into leaflets. Pinnate (even): Leaflets are attached along an extension of the petiole called a rachis; there is an even number of leaflets. Palmate: Leaflets are attached to the tip of the petiole.
Detailed explanation-4: -Five or more leaflets, in multifoliate shape, are found at the tip of the petiole in the shape of palm fingers. Examples include Malabarica from Bombax.
