Pinnate Compound Vs Palmate Compound Leaf

In pinnate compound leaf the leaflets are present on either side of long axis whereas in palmately compound leaf the leaflets are attached to common axis.

In pinnately compound leaf there are two rows of leaflets whereas in palmately compound leaf there is a cluster of leaflets.

In pinnately compound laf there is no joint between leaflet and axis whereas in palmately compound leaf there is joint between leaflets and point of attachment.

Leaflet bearing axis is continuation of petiole or a branch of midrib whereas in palmately compound leaf the leaflets are attached to the tip of the petiole.
