Spiral leaf arrangement. This kind of leaf arrangement is less common in Gesneriaceae. In the New World Gesneriaceae this pattern is found in Gesneria, Rhytidophyllum, and a few others. A spiral phyllotaxis is often found in rosette plants, e.g. in Saintpaulia, in the European genera Ramonda, Haberlea, Jancaea, and numerous Chinese-Himalayan genera. Petrocosmea forrestii has a conspicuously dense and flat rosette similar to the “Dinner plate” (Aeonium tabuliforme).

In botany, phyllotaxis or phyllotaxy is the arrangement of the leaves on the stem of a plant. The basic patterns are alternate, opposite, whorled or spiral. [..]
The most famous example is the sunflower head. This phyllotactic pattern creates an optical illusion of criss-crossing spirals. In the botanical literature, these designs are described by the number of counter-clockwise spirals and the number of clockwise spirals. These also turn out to be Fibonacci numbers.
