Answer:
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. Plants with opposite phyllotaxy have two leaves arising from the node in opposite directions. It is found in guava and jamunplants. Plants with whorled phyllotaxy have three or more leaves arising from the node. It is found in Alstonia.

Hello,
The pattern of arrangement of leaves on the stem or branch is called Phyllotaxy. There are three types of phyllotaxy found in plants.
1. Alternate phyllotaxy- On a branch, a single leaf arises at each node. E.g China rose
2. Opposite phyllotaxy- At one node, two leaves arise, opposite to each other. E.g guava plant
3. Whorled phyllotaxy- More than two leaves arise at a node and form a whorl in whorled phyllotaxy. E.g Alstonia
Hope it helps!!
