frond
n.
divided leaf (Botany)
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.
