A simple leaf is a leaf, such as an aspen leaf, that does not divide into parts.
A compound leaf is a leaf, such as a walnut leaf, that has several leaflets coming off of a single petiole.
Compound leaves are divided into multiple leaflets on a single leaf stalk, while simple leaves are not divided and consist of a single leaf blade per leaf stalk. Compound leaves increase surface area for photosynthesis and can vary in complexity, while simple leaves are less complex but still carry out the basic functions of photosynthesis.
Palmately veins
Yes, Ginkgo's have simple leaves. It can look confusing, because the leaves are closely clustered on a short shoot.... so yes, they're simple leaves. Cycads, on the other hand have compound leaves.
The eastern redbud is palmately compound, meaning its leaves are arranged in a fan-like pattern with multiple leaflets attached to a central point.
No, Manihot utilissima, commonly known as cassava, has compound leaves. The leaves are palmately lobed, meaning they are divided into multiple leaflets radiating from a common point at the end of the petiole.
yes there is a type of cassava that is compound
there are 2 types of compund leaves: a.) pinnately compound b.) palmately compound -thats all. but i dont have a description on it.

The eastern redbud is palmately compound, meaning its leaves are arranged in a fan-like pattern with multiple leaflets attached to a central point.
Palmately compound leaves have multiple leaflets that radiate from a single point, like fingers on a hand (e.g. poison ivy). Pinnately compound leaves have leaflets arranged along a central stalk, resembling a feather (e.g. rose leaves). Bipinnately compound leaves have leaflets arranged in multiple levels, resembling a feather within a feather (e.g. acacia leaves).
No, Manihot utilissima, commonly known as cassava, has compound leaves. The leaves are palmately lobed, meaning they are divided into multiple leaflets radiating from a common point at the end of the petiole.
The sections of a compound leaf are known as leaflets. These leaflets are attached to a common stalk called a rachis. Compound leaves can be either pinnately compound, with the leaflets arranged along the rachis like a feather, or palmately compound, with the leaflets arranged like the fingers of a hand.
In palmately veined leaves, the veins radiate out from a central point at the base of the leaf, resembling the fingers of a hand. This is different from other types of leaf venation patterns, such as pinnate or parallel venation, where the veins run either along the midrib or parallel to each other.
the 2 main types of leaves is needles and broad needles
None of the above. Ginkgo biloba is an extremely ancient and unique plant--the last of its genus--and also the only modern broad-leafed plant to have what is referred to as dichotomous venation. Basically, that means that its veins repeatedly divide into two. See related link
