Beschreibung:
The many facets of phyllotaxis are dealt with in an integrated manner for the first time.
Phyllotaxis, the study of the patterns exhibited by leaves and other organs of plants, raises some of the deepest questions of plant morphogenesis. In this book, first published in 1994, the many facets of phyllotaxis are dealt with in an integrated manner for the first time.
