LEAF VEINS

Pinnate--with a main midvein and secondary veins arising from it at intervals

Palmate--with the main veins all arising from one point at the base of the leaf.

Parallel--with all the main veins parallel (usually also parallel to the sides of the leaf.)

Dichotomous--with each vein branching in two again and again (e.g. Ginkgo)
