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.
Ramps (Allium tricoccum) are an easy item for many foragers to start with. In the spring, areas of wet forest are blanketed with the green leaves that grow mostly in pairs. The leaves are lanceolate, 8-12 inches long, flat and wide. The leaves are smooth and have almost a rubbery feel, and lack veins.-12 inches (10-30 cm) long, 1-3 inches (2.5-8 cm) wide, waxy, edible, and the lower stem is colored purplish-maroon or white. At the end of spring the leaves die back and a 8-12 inch long, smooth flower stem will appear with six-petalled white flowers arranged in an umbrella.
