Select the incorrect statement (w.r.t. leaves)

1. Leaves originate from shoot apical meristem

2. All types of leaves of angiosperms have venation

3. Simple leaves may have incisions

4. A bud is present in the axil of leaflets of compound leaf

Answer:(4)

The leaflets of compound leaves do not have bud or stipule.
A bud is present
in the axil of petiole in both simple and compound
leaves, but not in the axil of leaflets of the compound
leaf.

👉Types of Leaves:

A leaf is said to be simple, when its lamina is entire

or when incised, the incisions do not touch the

midrib

👉When the incisions of the lamina reach up

to the midrib breaking it into a number of leaflets,

the leaf is called compound

👉A bud is present

in the axil of petiole in both simple and compound

leaves, but not in the axil of leaflets of the compound

leaf.

👉The compound leaves may be of two types

👉In a pinnately compound leaf a

number of leaflets are present on a common axis,

the rachis, which represents the midrib of the leaf

as in neem.

👉In palmately compound leaves, the

leaflets are attached at a common point, i.e.,

at the tip of petiole, as in silk cotton.

👉Alternate phyllotaxy: China Rose , Mustard, sunflower

👉Opposite phyllotaxy : Calatropis, Guava

👉Whorl phyllotaxy : Alastonia

👉Leaf tendrils: pea

👉Leaf thorn : cactus

👉Small and short live leaf: Australian acacia

👉Petiole synthesize food: Acacia

👉Flashy leaf: onion

👉 Stem thorn: Citrus, bougainvillea

👉Stem tendril: Guards- cucumber, pumpkin, watermelon, &  grapevines

👉Flattened stem: opuntia

👉Fleshy cylindrical stem
