Reading in a new way




What is Phylotaxis?
The term Phyllotaxis refers to the patterns on plants formed by the arrangement of repeated biological units. In nearly all cases, the Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio occur in these arrangements. Phyllotactic spirals form a distinctive class of patterns in nature.                                                                                       This image of a plant is an example of Phylotaxis in nature
   

Phylotaxis  is  also a new site, we read in the description that it is  an exploration of the space where science meets culture. If you want a completely new way to choose and read articles visit the site, you will find lots of "Seeds"representing the perfect synthesis of science and culture, agitate them and then pick a seed and ......Have a good read!
