  1. Leaf arrangement on a stem can be categorized into three main types1234:
    • Alternate: Each leaf arises at a different point on the stem.
    • Opposite: Leaves are paired at a node and borne opposite to each other.
    • Whorled: More than two leaves arise at a node and form a whorl.

    An opposite leaf pair can be thought of as a whorl of two leaves. With an alternate (spiral) pattern, each leaf arises at a different point (node) on the stem.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllotaxis
    In alternate-leaved plants, the leaves are single at each node and borne along the stem alternately in an ascending spiral. In opposite-leaved plants, the leaves are paired at a node and borne opposite to each other. A plant has whorled leaves when there are three or more equally spaced leaves at a node.

    In alternate type, leaf arises at each node in an alternate manner. Examples include china rose, sunflower, grass. In opposite type, pair of leaves arise at each node and are opposite to each other. Examples include Calotropis, guava. In whorled type, more than two leaves arise at a node and form a whorl. For example Alstonia, Nerium.

    Phyllotaxis is a term used to describe the manner in which plant leaves are arranged on a stem. The primary patterns are alternate and opposite leaf placement. Occasionally, if multiple leaves seem to sprout from the same node, it can also be classified as whorled.

    Phyllotaxis - Wikipedia

    The basic arrangements of leaves on a stem are opposite and alternate (also known as spiral). Leaves may also be whorled if several leaves arise, or appear to arise, from the same level (at the same node) on a stem. With an opposite leaf arrangement, two leaves arise from the stem at the same level … See more

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

    The pattern of leaves on a plant is ultimately controlled by the accumulation of the plant hormone auxin in certain areas of the meristem. Leaves become initiated in localized … See more

    Physical models of phyllotaxis date back to Airy's experiment of packing hard spheres. Gerrit van Iterson diagrammed grids imagined on a cylinder (rhombic lattices). Douady et al. showed that phyllotactic patterns emerge as self-organizing processes in … See more

    Some early scientists—notably Leonardo da Vinci—made observations of the spiral arrangements of plants. In 1754, Charles Bonnet observed that the spiral phyllotaxis of plants were … See more

    Phyllotaxis has been used as an inspiration for a number of sculptures and architectural designs. Akio Hizume has built and exhibited several bamboo towers based on the Fibonacci sequence which exhibit phyllotaxis. Saleh Masoumi has proposed a design … See more
