Abstract excerpt
A statistical method is presented to characterize the degree of order in phyllotactic systems. We developed equations allowing the theoretical estimation of the number of leaves regularly distributed (spiral or verticillate) in a partially random phyllotactic system. The equations are simple and accurate enough to make quantitative predictions concerning the organization of different phyllotactic patterns...
