The Role of the Assessor. As mandated by the California State Constitution, the Assessor: Locates and identifies all taxable property in the county. Establishes taxable value for all property subject to property taxation. Completes the assessment roll showing the assessed values of all properties. Applies all legal exemptions.
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.
Spiral growth is beloved by photographers for the beautiful curves to be found in the bark and wood of the trees. Sawmills, on the other hand, are not so pleased to see a spiral-grained log in their yard; the wood is often weaker and spiral-grained boards often twist as they dry.
