Distributions of phyllotactic parameters. a The distribution of local divergence angles compared to the golden angle (\(\approx {137.5}^{\circ }\)) and the mean (\(\approx {139}^{\circ }\)). The intervals given by Adler’s Theorem (Theorem 2) for visible and opposed parastichy pairs are shown below the distribution. Assuming the mean of the distribution is the true divergence angle, (1,2), (2,3), (3,5) and (5,8), are visible and opposed. The interval [60°, 180°], corresponding to the pair (1,2), is not shown. b The distribution of rise values, showing the range of internode lengths
