compound leaf has a divided leaf blade called leaflets; their own stalks. The leaflets of palmately-compound
examples include pea, acacia, and mimosa. leaves radiate outwards from the end of the petiole.
Veneration Pattern
PARALLEL RETICULATE
The arrangement of veins in a leaf is called the venation Reticulate venation is among the vein pattern
