of a leaf, divided into several leaflets which arise at the same point. image | image
A leaf which is arranged like the fingers of a hand i.e. arising from approximately the same point and spreading outwards.e.g. the leaves of Horse-chestnut.
shaped like a hand with the fingers spread; specif.,having veins or lobes radiating from a common center as in some leaves
A type of compound leaf in which the leaflets are attached to a common point. Compare to pinnate.
(leaf). Compound, with leaflets originating at the same point on a common stalk. (See also Leaf Forms.)
(vein). Veins originating at a common point at base of leaf blade. (See also Leaf Veins.)
resembling a hand with fingers outstretched, referring to a type of cerata.
The arrangement of leaf veins or leaflets in such a way that the main divisions arise from a single point.
Radiating, fan-like from a common point; as of leaflets of a palmately compound leaf or veins of a palmately-veined leaf. Digitate.
like the palm of a hand with finger-like processes.
Diverging radiately like the fingers.
radiating out like, or shaped like, the palm and fingers of the hand.
(adj.) Radiating from a single point like the spreading fingers of an outstretched hand.
a compound leaf with leaflets radiating from a point
Shaped like a hand with fingers extended, as in a leaf.
a. (L. palma, palm) leaves divided into lobes arising from a common center.
Arranged in a radial pattern. Like fingers from a palm.
divided radically, like the fingers of a hand
of a leaf shape; having leaflets or lobes radiating from a common point
Lobed or veined outwardly from the base, like fingers of a hand.
Spreading like the fingers from the palm.
Lobed or veined with 3 or more branches or veins arising from a common point, like the fingers of a hand.
3 or more lobes in the shape of a palm - coming from 1 point.
Veined, lobbed or divided as the fingers or a hand.
a leaf with lobes divided like the spread fingers of an open hand.
With leaflets or lobes radiating like outstretched fingers from central point.
A leaf shaped like a hand with fingers stretched out.
a leaf with several principal (or primary) veins all of which arise from the petiole.
Radiating from a common point, like fingers on a hand.
compound leaf in which all leaflets attached at same point also pattern of veins radiating from the junction of the petiole and the lamina
applied to leaves in which the main veins and the sinuses are directed towards the base of the blade where it is attached to the petiole; radially lobed, netted or divided.
Divided radiately, like the fingers of a hand.
lobed or div ided in hand-like fashion, usually five or seven lobed
This word does not refer to plants commonly known as palms. It means, literally, "hand-shaped" and is applied as a descriptive term to a leaf with three or more lobes or leaflets arising from a single point of attachment on the leafstalk.
of a leaf, divided into several leaflets which arise at the same point. cf. palmatifid, pinnatifid.
lobed or divided (or ribbed) in a palm-like or hand-like fashion, with parts radiating form a central point - compare to pinnate.
A leaf whose leaflets all arise from the apex of the petiole like a hand without stretched fingers. (click here to see palmate leaf)
the main veins radiating from the point of petiole/blade junction
Divided into three or more lobes, leaflets or veins of a leaf that diverge from a common point like the fingers from the palm of a hand. See line drawing
having leaflets radiating out from a central point.
blades or lobes or veins of the leaf arranged like fingers on the palm of a hand.
Compounded, divided, lobed, or ribbed so that the divisions or ribs spread out like fingers from a single point.
leaflets are arranged at the end of a single point in a fan shape (or like the fingers of a hand). Virginia Creeper leaves are palmate.
A type of leaf whose lobes or segments attach to the stalk (petiole) at one point. Examples: Horsechestnut, Maple. Compare "pinnate".
With three or more lobes, veins or leaflets arising from one point.
a leaf that is divided into several leaflets that arise from the same point.
consiting of more than 3 leaflets arising from the same point, panicle : strictly a branched racemose inflorescence.
Three or more lobes or veins arising from one point.
Resembling a hand with the fingers outspread.
Hand shaped, often with fingers or lobes as in pseudopanx lessonii or many acer
Radiately lobed or divided.
with parts basally attached to a common point, digitate; palmate veins & palmately cmpd. leaves
A particular shape of leaf where the main leaf veins begin at the same place near the leaf stem. Named after the shape of a hand with the fingers spread wide. Maple is the classic example of "palmate-shaped" leaves. [To return to previous page, click your browser's BACK button then scroll through the page to your last location
with leaflets attached directly to the end of the leafstalk and not arranged in rows along an axis; palmately compound; digitate.
Consisting of more than three leaflets arising from the same point (of leaves).
With three or more lobes, nerves, leaflets, or branches arising from a common point.
Leaves that have lobes arranged like the fingers of a hand, e.g. horse chestnut.
Divided in a handlike or palmlike manner; in a leaf, having the lobes or divisions radiating from a common point.
Leaves divided into lobes arising from a common center, like the fingers of a hand. From the Latin, palma, "palm." The leaves of the Maples ( Acer spp.) are palmate.
