frond
n. divided leaf (Botany)


Wikipedia English The Free EncyclopediaDownload this dictionary
Frond
A frond is a large leaf with many divisions to it, and the term is typically used for the leaves of palms,  ferns or cycads. A frond is the leaf- like structure of a fern or alga. The term is colloquially applied to the leaves of palms, cycads, and plants with pinnately compound leaves. A significant difference is that, unlike the leaves of the latter, fern fronds bear the reproductive structures (spore-bearing structures) of the sporophyte plant. Because many ferns grow fronds that are held more vertical than horizontal, the "upper" and "lower" surfaces of a frond are more correctly referred to as the adaxial and abaxial surfaces, respectively.
