Directional phyllotactic bias in calatheas (Goeppertia, Marantaceae): A citizen science approach [PDF]
Quantitative Plant Biology, 2021 Lateral organs arranged in spiral phyllotaxy are separated by the golden angle, ≈137.5°, leading to chirality: either clockwise or counter-clockwise. In some species, leaves are asymmetric such that they are smaller and curved towards the side ascending ...
