Detailed Solution

Phyllotaxy is the pattern of arrangement of leaves on the stem or branch. This is usually of three types – alternate, opposite and whorled. 

In alternate type of phyllotaxy, a single leaf arises at each node in alternate manner, as in china rose, mustard and sun flower plants. 

In opposite type, a pair of leaves arise at each node and lie opposite to each other as in Calotropis and guava plants. 

If more than two leaves arise at a node and form a whorl, it is called whorled, as in Alstonia.
