Whorled Leaf Structure

Look at the shape of a single leaf from the base to the tip. As you can see in the pictures, simple leaves appear as a single leaf, and compound leaves often appear to be several leaves coming from a single place in the stem or one leaf that has been subdivided.
 

If you don't think your plant is represented above try going back a level and choosing again.
