Phyllotaxis information


Crisscrossing spirals of Aloe polyphylla

In botany, phyllotaxis (from Ancient Greek φύλλον (phúllon) 'leaf', and τάξις (táxis) 'arrangement')[1] or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem. Phyllotactic spirals form a distinctive class of patterns in nature.
