Phyllotaxy: The arrangement of leaves on the stem or branch is called phyllotaxy. There are three types of phyllotaxy, which are as follows:

Alternate: In this type of leaf arrangement, a single leaf arises at each node in alternate manner, e.g. China rose, mustard, sunflower, etc.

Opposite: In this type of leaf arrangement, a pair of leaves arise at each node. The leaves lie opposite to each other in this case, e.g. Calotropis, guava, etc.

Whorled: In this type of leaf arrangement, more than two leaves arise at a node.

Phyllotaxy refers to the pattern or arrangement of leaves on the stem or branch of a plant. It is of three types, alternate, opposite, and whorled phyllotaxy. In alternate phyllotaxy, a single leaf arises from the node of a branch. This type of phyllotaxy is observed in the sunflower, mustard, and peepal.There are three basic types of leaf arrangements found in trees and shrubs: alternate, opposite, and whorled. In an alternate leaf arrangement, there is one leaf per plant node, and they alternate sides.Whorled phyllotaxy is another type where three or more leaves are present at one node. However, in opposite phyllotaxy, two leaves arise from the stem at the same node, on opposite sides of the stem.
