Question

Difference whorled phyllotaxy and palmately compound

Answer 1

Answer:

whorled phyllotaxy, more than two leaves arise at each node and form whorl or a circle. the leaves of one whorl alternate the leaves of next successive whorl so that leaves receive maximum sunlight. e.g., Alstonia.

palmately compound leaf mean leaflets are attached to a common point i.e., at the tip of the petiole. the tip of the petiole bears all the leaflets in a form of cluster e.g., silk cotton.
