Since the number of potential axillary buds per metamer can be considered as a fixed botanical data, it is straightforward to deduce the whole plant structure from the population of buds.
As each apical bud grows to produce another whole unit, its development can be represented by the growth rule, A [right arrow] IL[B]A, where A = apical bud, I = internode (segment of stem between one leaf and the next), L = leaf, B = axillary bud and [] represent the start and end of a branch.
