In common weed Parthenium the
leaf is compound
In common weed Parthenium the leaf is compound
The correct option is A Multifoliate
Compound leaves
are of two types, namely pinnately compound leaves and palmately
compound leaves. In palmately compound leaf, the leaflets are
arranged at the tip of the petiole. It is further divided into 5
types depending upon the number of leaflets present at the tip of the
petiole.
In unifoliate,
there is only one terminal leaflet is attached at the top of petiole.
Example includes citrus.
In bifoliate, two
leaflets are attached side by side at the terminal end of petiole.
Example includes Balanites roxburghii.
In trifoliate,
three terminal leaflets are attached at the terminal end of petiole.
Example includes Aegle marmelos.
In quadrifoliate,
four leaflets are attached to the tip of petiole. Example
includes Paris quadrifolia.
In multifoliate,
five or more leaflets are present at the tip of petiole in the form
of fingers of the palm. Example includes Parthenium (common
weed).
Thus, the correct answer is 'Multifoliate.'
