About Pinnate
This word comes from the Latin “pinnatus,” meaning “feathered.” This stems from “pinna,” meaning “feather, wing.”
Did you Know?
Pinnate leaves can be separated into two categories: imparipinnate and paripinnate. “Imparipinnate,” or “odd-pinnate,” means the leaflets are arranged on both sides with an odd terminal leaflet up top. “Paripinnate,” or “even-pinnate,” describes a leaf that lacks the terminal leaflet.
