The given figure shows types of compound leaves.
A compound leaf consisting of several or many distinct
parts (leaflets) is joined to a single stem. They are of two
types - pinnately (figure A) and palmately compound leaves
(figure B).
In pinnately compound leaves, a number of leaflets are
present on a common axis, the rachis, which represents the
midrib of the leaf as in neem. In palmately compound leaves,
the leaflets are attached at a common point i.e. at the tip of
petiole as in silk cotton
