un fragmento de las hojas verticiladas


Explanation:
http://www.ppdl.purdue.edu/ppdl/weeklypics/2-14-05.html
Most gardeners are familiar with plants that have alternate or opposite leaves. But many are not familiar with the term "whorled" leaves, meaning three or more leaves at each node.

Ma Moliner
verticilado, -a
adj. Bot. Dispuesto en verticilo
verticilo (del lat. verticillus)
m. Bot. Conjunto de *hojas dispuestas a la misma altura alrededor del *tallo, tanto si se trata de hojas propiamente dichas como de hojas florales.
