0 A pinnate leaf is a type of compound leaf that has a central stem with small leaves arranged on either side of it.
Three pairs of these pinnate processes surround the obliquely truncate dorsal surface of the twelfth segment.
Seedlings had bifid leaves and no stem, juveniles had pinnate leaves and/or were stemmed, while adults were all individuals having at least the minimum reproductive height.
The pinnate leaves conisist of 911 oblong-lanceolate leaflets 5-14cm 0 cm long and 3.5-5cm 0 broad, with an acute apex, serrated margins.
The leaves are simple and minute in some species, or pinnate, finely divided in other species, often densely silvery hairy, and usually aromatic.
The pinnate leaf is borne on a well-developed and armed petiole, the sheath and rachis also whorled with spines and covered in tomentum.
Leaves are up to 30 cm long, pinnate with pinnatifid pinnules (leaflets) with scattered hairs.
There may or may not be normal pinnate leaves at the tip of the phyllode.
All have tall crownshafts and 4-6 large, plumose, pinnate leaves.
