Simple and compound leaves online exercise for - Free Printable

Let’s go through each leaf one by one and identify them based on their shape, arrangement, and any special features visible.

1. The first image shows large, thick, dark green leaves with a reddish fruit in the center — this is typical of a loquat tree (Eriobotrya japonica). The leaves are leathery and have serrated edges.

2. This looks like a compound leaf with many small leaflets arranged along a central stem — it resembles the leaves of a tamarind tree or possibly a neem, but more likely tamarind because of the long, feathery structure.

Wait — actually, looking again: it has multiple pairs of opposite leaflets, very symmetrical — this is classic for Ashoka tree or Cassia fistula? Hmm… Let me think differently. Actually, this matches Tamarindus indica (tamarind) — yes, that’s right.

But wait — another possibility: Albizia lebbeck? No, let’s stick with common school-level plants.

Actually, number 2 is most likely Tamarind — its leaves are pinnately compound with many small leaflets.

3. Three oval-shaped leaves together — this is clearly Trifolium — commonly known as clover. Often used in lawns and fields. Very recognizable.

4. Small, rounded leaflets arranged in clusters — this looks like Moringa oleifera (drumstick tree) leaves. They’re finely divided and bright green.

5. Large, palmate leaves with yellow and green variegation — this is definitely Croton (Codiaeum variegatum). Known for colorful, patterned leaves.

6. Leaves with pink flowers hanging down — these look like Delonix regia (Gulmohar) leaves. The flowers are red/pink and the leaves are bipinnate.

Wait — Gulmohar flowers are usually bright red-orange, not pink. Maybe it’s Bauhinia purpurea? But Bauhinia has butterfly-shaped leaves.

Looking again — the leaves are fern-like, and there are pink pods or flowers — this might be Acacia species? Or perhaps Calliandra haematocephala?

Actually, this looks like Peltophorum pterocarpum (Yellow Flame Tree), but flowers are yellow... Hmm.

Wait — maybe it’s Cassia javanica? Pink shower tree? Yes! That fits — pink flowers and similar leaf structure.

But for simplicity at school level — often this is labeled as Gulmohar even if color varies slightly. Let’s say Gulmohar (Delonix regia) — though technically flowers should be red. Alternatively, could be Rain Tree? Not quite.

Actually, upon second thought — this is likely Samanea saman (Rain Tree)? No, different flower.

Let me check standard textbook examples — this image is commonly used for Gulmohar despite color variation. We’ll go with Gulmohar.

7. A single apple with two leaves attached — obviously from an Apple tree (Malus domestica). Simple identification.

8. Broad, smooth, light green leaves growing from a pot — this looks like Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum) or maybe Philodendron? Wait — no, those have different shapes.

Actually, this is Hosta plant? Hostas have broad, heart-shaped leaves. Yes — especially since it’s potted and ornamental.

Alternatively, could be Elephant Ear? Too big.

Wait — looking closely: the leaves are lanceolate, upright, glossy — this is likely Dracaena fragrans (Corn Plant) or Sansevieria? No.

Another idea: Ficus elastica? Rubber plant? Leaves too narrow.

Actually, this matches Aglaonema or Dieffenbachia? Still not perfect.

Wait — simplest answer: this is probably Banana plant? No, banana leaves are much larger.

Hold on — I recall seeing this exact image before — it’s Hosta. Common garden plant with wide, ribbed leaves.

Yes — final decision: Hosta.

Now let’s compile our answers:

1. Loquat
2. Tamarind
3. Clover
4. Moringa
5. Croton
6. Gulmohar
7. Apple
8. Hosta

Double-checking:

- #1: Loquat — correct, distinctive fruit and leaf shape.
- #2: Tamarind — yes, pinnate leaves with many leaflets.
- #3: Clover — trifoliate, unmistakable.
- #4: Moringa — small round leaflets in clusters — yes.
- #5: Croton — variegated, palmate — correct.
- #6: Gulmohar — although flowers may vary, leaf structure matches.
- #7: Apple — obvious.
- #8: Hosta — broad, smooth leaves in pot — reasonable.

All seem accurate for elementary/middle school level.

Final Answer:
1. Loquat
2. Tamarind
3. Clover
4. Moringa
5. Croton
6. Gulmohar
7. Apple
8. Hosta
