palmate
Like spread fingers
Palmate describes a shape resembling an open hand with fingers spread.
In botany, palmate leaves have lobes or leaflets radiating from a single point, like a maple leaf.
In zoology, palmate feet are webbed, as in ducks and other waterfowl: The beaver's palmate hind feet make it an excellent swimmer.
