Phyllotaxis Group in the exhibition belongs to the family of phyllotaxis sculptures. It displays the growth forms of the screw pine Pandanus Veichii that Buisman discovered in the Philippines. Each palm segment of the group is slanted and somewhat twisted with regard to the other. In all its simplicity and insignificance, the sculpture reveals the fascinating beauty of the geometric laws behind the natural growth process.
