Simple leaf Vs Compound leaf

In simple leaf lamina is not divided into lobes or leaflets whereas in compound leaf lamina is divided into distinct leaflets.

Simple leaves develop on stem in acropetal order whereas in compound leaf all the leaflets develop simultaneously therefore, there is no acropetal arrangement.

Simple leaf may have bud in it
s axil whereas in compound leaf a bud is present in axil of whole leaf but individual leaflet does not bear buds.

In simple leaf stipule may be present at base whereas in compound leaf stipule may be present at base of whole leaf but not at base of individual leaflet (exception is Beans).
