The three leaflets on the pinnate leaves are similar to each other, 3–10 mm (0.1–0.4 in) long and 1–1.5 mm (0.04–0.06 in) wide. The flowers are pale to deep pink and are usually arranged singly in leaf axils near the end of the branches on a pedicel 2–13 mm (0.08–0.5 in) long.
The leaves are arranged alternately along the stems and are simple or pinnate. The flowers have three to seven sepals but that fall of as the flowers mature, but no petals. There are six to sixteen stamens (except in female flowers), the filaments shorter than the anthers, the style is threadlike and the ovary in female flowers has two to six ...
The leaves are simple, pinnate, or bipinnate, and arranged in opposite pairs. The flowers are produced in a capitulum with a ring of broad ray florets and a center of disc florets; flower color varies noticeably between the different species.
A leaflet (occasionally called foliole) in botany is a leaf-like part of a compound leaf. [1] Though it resembles an entire leaf, a leaflet is not borne on a main plant stem or branch, as a leaf is, but rather on a petiole or a branch of the leaf. [2] Compound leaves are common in many plant families and they differ widely in morphology. [3]
Chart illustrating leaf morphology terms. The following terms are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants. Leaves may be simple (that is, the leaf blade or 'lamina' is undivided) or compound (that is, the leaf blade is divided into two or more leaflets). [1]
Cyanothamnus anemonifolius is an erect shrub that grows to a height of 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) with pimply glands on its branches. The leaves are usually pinnate, sometimes simple or bipinnate, mostly 4–18 mm (0.16–0.71 in) long and 2–25 mm (0.079–0.98 in) wide in outline on a petiole usually 2–9 mm (0.079–0.35 in) long.
The leaves are usually arranged in opposite pairs and may be simple leaves or compound leaves with up to nineteen or more leaflets, in either a pinnate or bipinnate arrangement. The flowers are arranged in groups in the leaf axils or on the ends of the branches and have both male and female parts.
The alternate leaves are usually divided into a petiole and a leaf blade. The smooth or hairy leaf blade is simple or one to two-pinnate. The leaflets are lobed three to eleven times. The leaf margin is smooth to roughly serrated. The lower leaves are 38 to 127 centimetres (15 to 50 inches) long and 25 to 64 cm (10 to 25 in) inches wide.
