A leaf pattern where the main veins converge and meet at or near the tip of the leaf.
From Greek 'akron' (tip) + 'dromos' (running, course). A botanical term describing vein architecture in leaves, contrasting with 'actinodrome' and 'campylodrome' patterns.
Leaf vein patterns are like highway maps of the plant world—acrodromic leaves concentrate all their nutritional traffic toward one apex, which is why palmate leaves often look so distinctly fan-like.
