| Once pinnately compound | [Leaves] {complexity form} | Compound with leaflets attached at different points along and on either side of a central axis or rachis. |
| Once pinnately lobed | [Leaves] {lobing form} | With several main segments or lobes positioned along and on either side of a central axis; lobed in a feather-like pattern. |

| Opposite | [Leaves] {insertion} | Positioned in pairs along the stem, the members of each pair at the same level across from one another; two leaves occurring at each node. |
| Orbiculate | [Leaflets, Leaves, Petals, Phyllaries, Sepals] {shape} | Approximately circular in outline. |
| Oval | (1) [Leaflets, Leaves, Petals, Phyllaries, Sepals] {shape} | Broadly elliptic, the width more than one-half the length, with rounded ends. |
