With leaflets, lobes, or veins originating from several different points on each side of a main axis, as in the structure of a feather.
Having 2 rows of parts coming from a single axis. Like a feather.
(Pinately compound) - Leaflets or venation arranged on either side of a central axis, resembling a feather.
describing a leaf, which leaflets are on each side of a stalk or rachis.
The leaflets are divided along the stalk in the shape of a feather or pinnae.
Describes a leaf made up of smaller leaflets; usually on both sides of a stem. Each leaflet is called a "pinna" (more than one called "pinnae").
a leaf with a single principal (or primary) vein, the midrib, which has secondary veins branching out of it.
Of a leaf, a compound from a plant or tree to maintain its health, regulate its shape and control flowering.
Latin "pinnat" means "feathered. The term is used to describe leaves that have a primary central axis from which subdivisions branch off, usually nearly perpendicularly.
leaflets of elongate shape, forming pairs on opposite sides.
Leaflets arranged on either side of the midrib to form a compound leaf.
Divided once along an elongated axis into distinct segments.
with leaflets arranged on either side of a central stalk
pennée having leaflets on each side of the central stalk (rachis).
of a lamina, divided into pinnae, with the pinnae (leaflets) arising at points along the rachis.
feather-formed, as in leaflets of a compound leaf placed on either side of a central rachis - compare to palmate.
Leaflets arranged along the long axis of the leaf. (click here to see pinnate leaf)
a central 'mid-vein' or -mid-rib' with with lateral veins arising along its length
Feather-like, with a row of leaflets on either side of a central stalk.
having leaflets on both sides of a common axis.
Bearing leaflets on each side ofa central stalk.
a leaf or frond that is divided once.
blades or lobes or veins of the leaf arranged like the vanes of a feather.
Having leaflets arranged in opposite rows along the petiole.
divided, as with a compound leaf, so the segments are arranged on two sides of a middle axis; featherlike in appearance ( see pictorial glossary).
leaflets are opposite on the main "stem". In the above picture of a leaf, the outer leaflets are pinnate.
With the leaflets or pinnae of a compound leaf placed on either side of the prolongated peti-ole, feather-like.
Having two rows of lateral divisions along the main axis.
leaf resembling a feather.
A term describing a common method of division of fern fronds, in which the blade is divided into segments arising from both sides of a central axis (rachis). Each segment of the blade could then be divided again in a pinnate fashion, making the blade bi-pinnate or twice pinnate. The process can be continued to further levels of division--see "bipinnate" and "tripinnate" for examples.
Lobes or veins arranged on two sides of the midvein.
Compound, with branches arranged in feather fashion to the sides of the rachis.
Bearing leaflets on each side of a central stalk. 158
With leaflets arranged on opposite sides of a central stalk.
compound leaves arranged on both sides of a common axis, as in a feather
Compound leaves with opposite pairs of separate leaflets, typically as in fraxinus ssp
with 2 rows of leaflets, like a feather.
A leaf composed of more than three leaflets arranged in two rows along a common stalk
Compound, with the leaflets arranged on both sides of a common axis.
Compound leaf with leaflets.
parts attached along an elongated axis; feather-like; pinnate veins & pinnately cmpd. leaves
with leaflets arranged in 2 rows along an axis.
Leaflets arranged along each side of the common petiole of a compound leaf.
Term used of leaf completely subdivided into several leaflets ranged along either side of midrib, e.g. ash.
a compound leaf that is made up of many small leaflets arranged in pairs on either side of a long central midrib (the rachis). There is often a single terminal leaflet at the end of the midrib.
Divided in a feathery manner; having leaflets on each side of an axis or midrib. Pinnate blades are divided into leaflets ( pinnæ), with each leaflet narrowly attached to the central stem ( rachis). Blades more divided are designated as bipinnate or tripinnate. From the Latin, pinnatus, "feathered."
Pinnate is a term used to describe feather-like or multi-divided features arising from both sides of a common axis in plant or animal structures, and comes from the Latin word pinna for "feather". A similar term is pectinate, which refers to a comb-like arrangement of parts (arising from one side of an axis). The term contrasts somewhat with palmate, in which the parts or structures radiate out from a common point.
