architecture |
foliaceous structure |
Compound with one order of leaflets all inserted at a common point and diverging from one another; or lobed (cleft, divided, parted, segmented), incised or ribbed in a similar hand-like pattern.

architecture |
|
Lacking elongate, relatively thin protrusions or appendages that resemble wings. |
|
monolete |
|
architecture |
