Palmate

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a mammal with duck-like beak, dense fur similar to that of an otter and tail similar to that of a beaver. It has palmate legs and reproduces by laying eggs instead of giving birth like other mammals.

Although palmate leaves are typical of most Western maples, a number of species have leaves without lobes.

The horse chestnut, buckeye and hickory trees have palmate leaves. That is, the broad oval leaflets are all set around the tip of a common leaf stem, spreading in a circle, like the ribs of a palm leaf fan.

The Palmate Newt is a common Western European amphibian.
