paripinnate: pinnately compound leaves in which leaflets are borne in pairs along the rachis without a single terminal leaflet; also called "even-pinnate". imparipinnate: pinnately compound leaves in which there is a lone terminal leaflet rather than a terminal pair of leaflets; also called "odd-pinnate".
compound Composed of several parts, e.g. a leaf composed of multiple leaflet s, a gynoecium composed of multiple carpel s, or an inflorescence made up of multiple smaller inflorescences. compound palmate Having leaflet s that radiate from a central point (usually at the top of a petiole), like spread-out fingers radiating from the palm of a hand.
The middle vein of a compound leaf or a frond, when it is present, is called a rachis. Palmately compound The leaflets all have a common point of attachment at the end of the petiole, radiating like fingers of a hand; for example, Cannabis (hemp) and Aesculus (buckeyes). Pinnately compound Leaflets are arranged either side of the main axis, or ...
A leaflet (occasionally called foliole) in botany is a leaf-like part of a compound leaf. [1] Though it resembles an entire leaf, a leaflet is not borne on a main plant stem or branch, as a leaf is, but rather on a petiole or a branch of the leaf. [2] Compound leaves are common in many plant families and they differ widely in morphology. [3]
The leaves are bipinnately compound, with one or two pinnae pairs, and 10–26 leaflets per pinna. The petioles are also prickly. Pedunculate (stalked) pale pink or purple flower heads arise from the leaf axils in mid-summer with more and more flowers as the plant gets older. A single flower survives for less than a day, and usually dies ...
The leaves are pinnately compound on older trees but bipinnately compound on vigorous young trees. [4] The leaflets are 1.4–3.6 cm (1 ⁄ 2 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long when compound and very slightly smaller when bipinnate. [7] The leaves are green in summer and turn yellow in autumn in shades ranging from cream and tan to golden yellow. [8]
Leaves are bipinnately compound (as is common in most African acacia species) with 1 to 4 pinnae pairs, where each pinna again has 5 to 13 leaflet pairs. The flowers are white- to cream-coloured, and mostly seen during the summer months of December and January, but they can blossom almost all year round, depending on the geographical location.
