	Pinnate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pinnate is a term used to describe feather-like or multi-divided features arising from both sides of a common axis in plant or animal structures, and comes from the Latin word pinna for "feather".
		Plants with pinnate leaves are sometimes colloquially called "feather-leaved".
		The fish, Platax pinnatus, is known as the pinnate spadefish or pinnate batfish.

		Pinnate leaves have leaflets that measure 2-3 inches long and turn a brilliant crimson color in fall.
		Pinnate leaves are pale green in color, measure 8-10 inches in length and turn shades of yellow in the fall.
		Pinnate leaves measure 10-14 inches long, are dark green in color and turn a brilliant yellow in the fall before droping.

		of the length of the common footstalk from the bottom and thence alternately pinnate; the footstalk terminating in a simple undivided nearly entire lanceolate leafet.
		The leafets are oblong, obtuse, convex absolutely entire, marked on the upper disk with a slight longitudinal groove in place of the central rib, smooth and of a deep green.
		The leafets are oppositly pinnate about 1/3 of the length of the common footstalk from the bottom and thence alternately pinnate; the footstalk termonating in a simple undivided nearly entire lanceolate leafet.

	Fern identification - pinnate fronds
		To identify a fern with a pinnate frond, begin with the first question and continue until you get a "yes" answer.
		Pinnate Fronds, single terminal (tip) pinna is shorter than the other pinnae...
		If it is a pinnate frond whose terminal pinna is shorter than the other pinnae and the tips of the pinnules are pointed, the answer to one of the above two questions must be a "yes."

		If the large veins in the netted pattern all start at the end of the petiole, the stem-like portion of the leaf that supports the blade, and extend through the blade-like fingers from the palm of a hand, the vein pattern is called palmate.
		Leaflets that radiate from a common point at the end of the petiole, such as those of clover, the horse chestnut tree, poison ivy, and Virginia creeper, are called palmate leaflets.
		Leaflets that are attached along a central stalk, such as those of the rose, ash, walnut, and hickory, are called pinnate leaflets.

	Wattle (leaves pinnate)
		There are two groups of Racosperma, previously known as acacia - those with pinnate leaves shown here and those with leaves reduced to phyllodes (extensions of the stem) as in the previous entry.
		Glands are present on the leaf stems and midribs between pinnae.
		Acacias with pinnate (frond-like) leaves are confused easily with the very common brush wattle (Paraserianthes lophantha) shown in the next entry.

		pinnate species usually begin to become pinnate quite early, usually within 2 years from seed.
		With the first few partial pinnate leaves, the pinnae point forward towards the tip of the leaves.
		As the leaves make a full transition from partial pinnate to completely pinnate, the pinnae change direction from pointing toward the tip of the leaves to pointing away from the tip.

		The word "pinnate" means "like a feather", and it's used to describe certain types of leaves.
		Thus a leaf whose blade is divided into small leaflets coming off of the two sides of a central shaft is said to be pinnate.
		That is, not only the blade is divided pinnately into separate leaflets, but each leaflet in turn is pinnate.

	Chapter 8: Horticulture, Article 1
		Palmate leaves are round or semicircular in outline and may or may not be deeply segmented, while pinnate leaves are linear, oblong or triangular in outline with segments arranged in the fashion of a feather and sometimes fused into an apparent undivided blade.
		I personally consider this aspect of these palms their most desirable trait; but there are those who feel the palm looks better when only the leaves that do not fall below the horizontal plane are left on the tree.
		A pinnate leaf whose primary leaflets have been replaced by separate and smaller stalks that then bear their leaflets with or without individual stalks.

	Plants of Southern California: Gilias of San Diego County
		A pinnate leaf is a leaf divided into recognizably-separate leaflets (ones that could be torn off without tearing other leaflets) that are arranged in two rows on opposite sides of the central leaf stem like the divisions of a feather.
		The leaflets of pinnate leaves attach to the rachis.
		For pinnate leaves, the rachis can be either narrow (not appreciably wider than thick), or it can be broad, wider than thick.

		These trees typically have pinnate leaves that are shed in drought conditions, but the plants can photosynthesise through the stems of the trunk and major branches, which have a white, papery bark overlying the green photosynthetic tissues.
		One of the common elephant trees (Bursera microphylla) is characterised by its reddish-brown twigs, its pinnate leaves with minute, regularly arranged leaflets, and its small rounded berries.
		The main features that help to distinguish it are the greyish twigs and the pinnate leaves with larger, irregular leaflets.
