The function of the arrangement of leaves (phyllotaxy) is to increase a plant’s ability to carry on photosynthesis by positioning the leaves in such away as tomaximize the surface area available to intercept sunlight.

I have a google-plus page, but never use it...John Lamb on the mound for Angels...top of 1st...and thought to see just what google-plus is, and was browsing its 'feed', and sighted a bit on plants...and found that word 'phyllotaxy'...and looking at the graphic, the plant leaves, thought, 'oh, they're ambigrams!'...Nature has patterns too, and must have a been a source for Mesoamerican art, along with those patterns seen in hallucinations which I went on about!...cave art has a lot of geometric shapes, and animals, and people, and hand prints...Jays made out...the hand prints are a curio...as they are 'prints'...some of them stencils...the folk back then could spray paint...blowing pigment through a rolled up leaf, a hollow bone, and such...I'm wrong in saying the Mesoamericans never made things exactly the same...Angels up...one out...Trout up...they made figurines from molds, and printed textiles...there's an island off Yucatan full of molded figurines...offerings...Jainen something....for sometime!...the Middle Eastern cultures had cylinder seals, which are a printing tool...and they molded figurines too...Trout walks?...Upton doubles...runners second and third...passed ball...Trout scores...Angels 1-0...Upton on third...there's an odd disconnect in this!...the ancients on one hand knew how to print, and manufacture from molds, but on the other hand, did everything, they're writing and book making and such, by hand...we knew the essence of printing manufacturing from the very start!...a curio is why we didn't extrapolate and use the knowledge fully...diverted...Pujols rbi hit...Simmons up...phyllotaxy!...looking up wiki's take, I find another word...

Decussation is used in biological contexts to describe a crossing (Latin: the roman numeral for ten, deca, is an uppercase 'X'). (In Latin anatomical terms the form decussatio is used, e.g. decussatio pyramidum.) Similarly, the anatomical term chiasma is named after the Greek uppercase 'Χ', chi).

Angels made out...Angels 2-0...to top of 2nd...hmmph...I went on about chiasma in literature...hadn't thought of it as an ambigram!...
"Chiasmus is a rhetorical device in which two or more clauses are balanced against each other by the reversal of their structures in order to produce an artistic effect."

While observers tend to agree that there’s a stage at which most children strive for realistic depiction in their drawing, many psychologists argue that at their earlier stages of drawing, children aren’t thinking about realism. Take, for example, the way kids tend to scatter objects in awkward places in their drawings; they might draw a house on the left corner of the page and then a road that somehow stands above it. But that doesn’t mean they don’t understand how these scenes look in the real world, some experts say; instead, the child is more concerned about achieving a kind of visual balance between the objects. Their goal, ultimately, is to create something that’ll make sense to the person they show it to.
... ... ...
In fact, adult abstract artists such as Robert Motherwell and Paul Klee were inspired by children’s drawing. Observers have found similar patterns in modern abstract art and kids’ drawing; one example is the “X-ray” drawing, or a drawing in which the “inside” of a person is made visible (like a baby shown inside a woman’s stomach).

Early surviving artworks of the Aborigines are mostly rock paintings. Many are called X-ray paintings because they show the bones and organs of the animals they depict.

The style is also sometimes used to render delicate polychromed images of the interior cavity of the animal. Images are known in which only the outline and the skeleton of the bird, fish, or mammal are indicated, and the entire internal system of organs is expressed by a “life line,” a single horizontal line that runs from the animal’s mouth to a dot representing the heart or stomach. Whether the depiction of an animal in the X-ray style had particular religious symbolism is not known.

Rock art is a rather vague term which denotes prehistoric man-made markings on natural stone. Similar terms include: "rock carvings", "rock engravings", "rock inscriptions", "rock drawings" and "rock paintings".

... ... ...
The actual term "cupule" was invented recently by the world-famous archeologist Robert G. Bednarik, in an attempt to provide a consistent name for a phenomenom which hitherto had been called "pits", "hollows", "cups", "cupels", "cup stones", "pitmarks", "cup marks" - even "pot-holes".
