If a plant has a phyllotaxy of alternate leaves that emerge at a 30° angle from each previous leaf, one can surmise that the a. leaves are most likely very broad, indicating that the plant grows where there is sufficient water. b. leaves are most likely very broad, indicating that the plant grows in low light levels. c. leaves are most likely very thin because due to emerging at such a close angle, they would have to be thin to avoid shading each other. d. the layers of leaves of the plant must be very thick with leaves spaced so close together, and lower leaves are most likely lost through self-pruning.
