Palmately Compound Leaves Structure — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptIn palmately compound leaves, the leaflets are attached at a common point, i.e., at the tip of petiole, as in silk cotton.
Match the following plants with the type of leaves they possess: Column I (Plant) 1. Neem 2. Silk cotton 3. Mango 4. Rose 5. Guava Column II (Type of leaf) A. Simple leaf B. Pinnately compound leaf C. Palmately compound leaf
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: D — 1–B, 2–C, 3–A, 4–A, 5–A
Neem → Pinnately compound leaf (leaflets on rachis). Silk cotton → Palmately compound leaf (leaflets attached at tip of petiole). Mango → Simple leaf (lamina entire/incised but not reaching midrib). Rose → Simple leaf. Guava → Simple leaf. Thus, the correct matching is 1–B, 2–C, 3–A, 4–A, 5–A.
