Phyllotaxis function

Plant phyllotaxis

Outputs the plant phyllotaxis formula or angle of divergence

Phyllotaxis(n, angle=FALSE)
Fibonacci(x)

Arguments

• n: non-negative integer
• angle: if TRUE, output angle of divergence
• x: non-negative integer

Details

'Fibonacci(x)' calculates the n's Fibonacci's number, it is the rare case that is not exercise but really used for work.

'Phyllotaxis(n)' uses 'Fibonacci(x)' to output the phyllotaxis formula (see examples) or (if 'angle=TRUE') the angle of divergence.

Returns

Number or character vector of length one.
