Leaves are classified into two types based on the lamina or leaf blade,as compound and simple leaf.
Compound leaves are those leaves in which incisions are deep and reach the midrib, dividing the leaf into different segments each of which is called a ‘leaflet’.
Example: Neem, Rose, palm.
Simple leaves are leaves in which the leaf blade or lamina is not divided into different segments, instead it is present intact as a whole. Incisions are usually absent in simple leaves, but if present they never reach the midrib.
Example: Banana.
