Question

Which of the following has opposite phyllotaxy?

• A. Mint
• B. Rose
• C. Castor
• D. Tulsi

Answer 1

The correct option is A Mint

In opposite phyllotaxy, the leaves are arranged in pairs on either side of the same node. This is seen in mint and guava plant.

In alternate phyllotaxy, consecutive leaves are produced in a spiral manner around the stem. This is seen in rose plant.

In whorled phyllotaxy, more than two leaves occur at a node. This is seen in Tulsi plant.

So, the correct answer is 'Mint'
