Definition
A leaf divided into multiple separate leaflets, each with its own small stalk, all attached to a common leaf stalk (rachis). The leaflets can be completely separated from each other without tearing tissue.
Etymology
From Latin 'componere' meaning 'to put together' combined with 'leaf.' The term reflects how these leaves appear to be composed of multiple separate parts assembled together.
Kelly Says
Compound leaves are nature's way of making one leaf look like many! The trick to identifying them is finding the bud - it's always at the base of the whole compound leaf, not at each leaflet. Rose leaves are compound, which is why they look like several small leaves clustered together.
