the blade is divided into leaflets that are arranged along a common axis.

usually has 7 blades, 3 on one side and 3 on the other and one on the top.
Twice-Pinnately Compound Leaf?
with the leaflets arranged along branches of a common axis.

has different petioles coming off of it, with various sizes of leaves.
