lobed: lobatus: whole leaf: Being divided by clefts; may be pinnately lobed or palmately lobed: lorate: loratus: whole leaf: Having the form of a thong or strap lyrate: lyratus: whole leaf: Shaped like a lyre, pinnately lobed leaf with an enlarged terminal lobe and smaller lateral lobes. See also List of lyrate plants. mucronate: mucronatus ...
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 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. Compare palmate. compressed Flattened lengthwise, either laterally (from side to side) or dorsally (from front to back). concatenate Joined together in a chain-like form.
Palmate (palmata) – divided into many lobes. Pedate (pedata) – palmate, with cleft lobes. Peltate (peltata) – rounded, stem underneath. Perfoliate (perfoliata) – stem through the leaves. Pinnate (pinnata) – two rows of leaflets. odd-pinnate – pinnate with a terminal leaflet. paripinnate, even-pinnate – pinnate lacking a terminal ...
Palmate venation, Acer truncatum Palmate, Palmate-netted, palmate-veined, fan-veined Several main veins of approximately equal size diverge from a common point near the leaf base where the petiole attaches, and radiate toward the edge of the leaf. Palmately veined leaves are often lobed or divided with lobes radiating from the common point.
Some fronds are not pinnately compound (or simple), but may be palmate, costapalmate, or bifurcate. There is a spectrum from costapalmate to palmate. Costapalmate fronds are shaped like the palm of a hand and have a short midrib or costa. Palmate fronds are also shaped like the palm of the hand, but all ribs or leaflets arise from a central area.

The leaves in most species are palmate veined and lobed, with 3 to 9 (rarely to 13) veins each leading to a lobe, one of which is central or apical. A small number of species differ in having palmate compound, pinnate compound, pinnate veined or unlobed leaves.
