Whorled leaf arrangement refers to a pattern where three or more leaves arise from the same point on a stem. The leaves are arranged in a circle or whorl around the stem. This arrangement is less common than alternate or opposite leaf arrangements.
Ivy plants have alternate leaf arrangement, which means that leaves are arranged along the stem in an alternating pattern. Each leaf grows in a staggered formation rather than directly across from each other.

Maize plants have alternate leaf arrangement, where each leaf is positioned at a different node along the stem.
Among the three types of leaf arrangement, the whorled, the opposite and the alternate, the whorled type exposes the leaves to less sunlight since it has two or more leaves borne at each node.
The peepal leaf is simple, meaning it is undivided and consists of a single leaf blade attached to the stem.
The name of the leaf margin of the peepal tree is entire.
Whorled leaf arrangement refers to a pattern where three or more leaves arise from the same point on a stem. The leaves are arranged in a circle or whorl around the stem. This arrangement is less common than alternate or opposite leaf arrangements.
Ivy plants have alternate leaf arrangement, which means that leaves are arranged along the stem in an alternating pattern. Each leaf grows in a staggered formation rather than directly across from each other.
reticulate
A basil leaf typically has an opposite arrangement, where the leaves are positioned in pairs on the stem, across from each other.
Ficus Religiosa
leaf of a peepal tree
The scientific name of the leaf of the peepal tree is Ficus religiosa.
This pattern of leaf growth is called whorled phyllotaxis. It occurs when three or more leaves are attached at the same node on a stem, forming a circular arrangement around the stem. This is in contrast to alternate or opposite leaf arrangement patterns.
A santan leaf is typically oval or lance-shaped with a pointed tip. The edges of the leaf are usually smooth or slightly serrated. The leaf arrangement is opposite along the stem.
