LEAVES

MeaningSuch leaf in which the leaf blade or lamina is undivided into lobes is called simple leaf, and the arrangement of such leaves are in acropetal succession.The leaf which properly shows the division of leaf blade or lamina into leaflets is called as compound leaves. These leaves do not make acropetal succession arrangments of the leaflets. 

Leaf blades

They have single blades.They have smaller and separate leaf blades called leaflets. 

Axillary

Bud is placed in the axil (near the petiole and stem).Each leaflet does not have axil, though buds are placed in the axil of the leaf.Division in laminaThere is no division of lamina.The lamina is divided into more than two leaflets, arising on the side of a rachis or at the tip of the petiole.

Stipules
