I: | develop at the node, bear buds in their axil that later develop into a branches. |
II: | originate from shoot apical meristems and are arranged in an acropetal order. |
1. | Stipules | Small leaf like structure, generally two in number, that are sometimes present at the leaf base |
2. | Pulvinus | Leaf base in monocotyledons expanded into a sheath covering the stem partially or wholly |
3. | Petiole | A stalk that connects the blade with the leaf base |
4. | Leaf blade | Also called as lamina and is the green expanded part of the leaf with veins and veinlets |

Statement I: | In a pinnately compound leaf, several leaflets are present on a common axis, the rachis, which represents the midrib of the leaf (as in neem). |
Statement II: | In palmately compound leaves, the leaflets are attached at a common point, i.e., at the tip of the petiole (as in silk cotton). |
