Phyllotaxis, the study of the patterns exhibited by leaves and
other organs of plants, raises some of the deepest questions of
plant morphogenesis. What principles of biological organisation
produce these dynamical geometric systems? The constant occurrence
of the Fibonacci sequence in such systems is a phenomenon that has
fascinated botanists and mathematicians for centuries. In this
book, first published in 1994, the many facets of phyllotaxis are
dealt with in an integrated manner for the first time. The author
describes a unified concept of phyllotaxis based on experimental,
anatomical, cellular, physiological and paleontological
observations. The book provides a framework for formal analyses of
botanical data and emphasises the relevance of the phyllotactic
paradigm in the study of other structures, such as crystals and
proteins. It is of interest to cystallographers and physicists as
well as to botanists and mathematicians.
