PINNATE

Pinnate is a term used to describe feather-like or multi-divided features arising from both sides of a common axis in plant or animal structures, and comes from the Latin word pinna meaning “feather”, “wing” or “fin”. A similar term is pectinate, which refers to a comb-like arrangement of parts. The term contrasts somewhat with palmate, in which the parts or structures radiate out from a common point.

COLEUS LEAVES

Solenostemon is a genus of perennial plants, native to tropical Africa, Asia, Australia, the East Indies, The Malay Archipelago, and the Philippines. They are commonly known as Coleus, a name which derives from an earlier classification under the genus name coleus, species of which are currently included in either solenostemon or another genus, Plectranthus.
