Trees with Tamarind like feather compound leaves without a terminal leaflet (Paripinnate)
Also known as feather compound or pinnate, this is probably the largest group. We can further subdivide this group into
a) With a terminal leaf (botanists call them imparipinnate), described in another section (here)
b) Without terminal leaf (paripinnate ) described and listed here
Note that Tamarind leaflets are very small. Most trees in this group has much larger leaflets. The diagram below shows an example of this type of leaf. Also, due to obvious reason, number of leaflets in a paripinnate leaf is always an even number
