    This document describes 5 types of leaf venation: pinnate, palmate, reticulate, dichotomous, and parallel. Pinnate venation has veins on either side of a central midrib. Palmate venation has main veins radiating from a central point. Reticulate venation has many branched minor veins forming a net-like pattern. Dichotomous venation occurs in gingko leaves, with veins branching near the upper surface to form a Y shape. Parallel venation has veins extending parallel to the outer edge and each other.

    extends from the petiole to the leaf tip.

    The main veins radiate from a central point at the petiole. Each main vein
    extends from the petiole to the tip of a lobe.

    Leaf Venation
    Dichotomous
    This type of venation occurs in Gingko. Numerous veins radiate from the base
    of the leaf that branch near the upper leaf surface to form a Y.

    Leaves with parallel venation are diagnostic for monocots. The veins extend
    parallel to the outer leaf edge and each other.
