In botany, phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of leaves on a plant stem (from Ancient Greek phÃ½llon leaf and tÃ¡xis arrangement). Phyllotactic spirals form a distinctive class of patterns in nature.
As a stem grows, leaves tend to appear arranged around the stem in a way that optimizes yield of light. 1  In essence, leaves form a helix pattern centered around the stem, either clockwise or counterclockwise, with (depending upon the species) the same angle of divergence.
