Type of phyllotaxy:
- Phyllotaxy is defined as arrangement of leaves on stem of the plant.
- It is of 3 types - "alternate phyllotaxy, opposite phyllotaxy, and whorled phyllotaxy".
- Plants like mango, guava, and tulsi have leaves situated opposite to each of the other. This leads to the opposite phyllotaxy. So, these plants have opposite phyllotaxy.
- In alternate phyllotaxy, single leaves are present in each node, and that too, opposite to each of the others.
- In whorled phyllotaxy, leaves are in several five and situated at same node.
