A leaflet in Botany is a part of a compound Leaf . A leaflet may resemble a complete leaf, but it is not borne on a Stem as a leaf is, but rather on a vein of the whole leaf. Compound leaves are common in many plant families. Leaflets borne on the central vein of a leaf are referred to as ''pinnae''; the compound leaves themselves are described as ''pinnate''. A plant may be further subdivided in that the pinnae are themselves split into leaflets, or ''pinnules''; these leaves are now twice pinnate, or ''bipinnate''. A few plant species even have ''tripinnate'' leaves. |
