Suraji ji Quoting from our website " Unarmed or armed herbs, shrubs, climbers or small trees. Prickles when present straight or curved, with or without broad base. Hairs simple, branched or glandular. Leaves simple or compound"
Flora of China "Leaves solitary or paired, simple or pinnately compound," Flora of Pakistan "Leaves simple or divided" Even in tomato you will find some leaves deeply divided, some almost compound, and some compound, or some poorly lobed, and as such some books will write deeply divided others pinnate leaves. Flora of China "mostly pinnately compound or divided, sometimes entire" -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
