ANSWER THIS PLEASSSE!!!! second time i asked this?

Question

Now, what is the name of a palm tree leaf? Is it ovate or what

Answer 1

"Palm Tree is evergreen, mostly tropical plant in the family Palmae (also known as Arecaceae). There are over 2500 species of palms. Most Palm are tree-like, with single trunks and either fan shaped (palmate) or feather shaped (pinnate) compound leaves. The larger palm tree makes a dramatic statements in USDA Zone 8-10 landscapes, and a smaller palm tree is grown in containers everywhere."

Answer 2

I always thought they were called fronds

Answer 3

Ovate is a term used to describe shape. Often used to describe the shape of a leaf.. for example- Palm tree leaves are Ovate.

Answer 4

The leaves of palms are either arranged at more or less distant intervals along the stem, as in the canes, or are approximated in tufts at the end of the stem, I thus forming those noble crowns of foliage which are so closely associated with the general idea of a palm. In the young condition, while still unfolded, these leaves, with the succulent end of the stem from which they arise, form “the cabbage,” which in some species is highly esteemed as an article of food.

The adult leaf very generally presents a sheathing base tapering upwards into the stalk or petiole, and this again bearing the lamina or blade. The sheath and the petiole very often bear stout spines, as in the rattan palms and when, in course of time, the upper parts of the leaf decay and fall off, the base of the leaf-stalk and sheath often remain, either entirely or in their fibrous portions only, which latter constitute the investment to the stem already mentioned. In size the leaves vary within very wide limits, some being only a few inches in extent, while those of the noble Carycta I , may be measured in tens of feet. In form the leaves of palms are very rarely simple; usually they are more or less divided, sometimes, as in Caryota, extremely so. In species of Geonoma, Vers chaffeltia and some others, the leaf splits into two divisions at the apex and not elsewhere; but more usually the leaves branch regularly. The form of the segments is generally more or less linear, but a very distinct appearance is given by the broad wedge-shaped leaflets of such palms as Caryotct, Martinezia or Mauritia. These forms run one into another by transitional gradations; and even in the same palm the form of the leaf is often very different at different stages of its growth, so that it is a difficult matter to name correctly seedling or juvenile palms in the condition in which we generally meet with them in the nurseries, or even to foresee what the future development of the plant is likely to be. Like the other parts of the plant, the leaves are sometimes invested with hairs or spines; and, in some instances, as in the magnificent Ceroxylon andicola, the under surface is of a glaucous white or bluish color, from a coating of wax.

The inflorescence of palms consists generally of a fleshy spike, either simple or much branched, studded with numerous, sometimes extremely numerous, flowers, and enveloped by one or more sheathing bracts called “ spathes “. These parts may be small, or they may attain relatively enormous dimensions, hanging down from amid the crown of foliage like huge tresses, and adding greatly to the noble effect of the leaves. In some cases, as in the Talipot palm, the tree only flowers once; it grows for many years until it has become a large tree then develops a huge inflorescence, and after the fruit has ripened, dies.

Answer 5

No, a palm tree leaf is not called ovate.  Ovate is a an egg shaped leaf with the broader end at the base.  They are found on various kinds of trees.  Palm Trees have large evergreen leaves that are either 'fan-leaved' or 'feather-leaved' and arranged in a spiral at the top of the trunk. The leaves have a tubular sheath at the base that usually splits open on one side when it is grown.  Arecaceae or Palmae are the names used for Palm Trees.  There is no technical name to define Palm Tree leaves, although there are many different kinds with varying characteristics.

The term "frond" is used to describe a large leaf with many divisions to it.  It can be from tree's such as palms, ferns or cycads.  However, it does not specifically mean Palm tree leaves!

Answer 6

Frond.
