Wikipedia (2015) mentioned that in plants Fibonacci phyllotaxis prevails over Lucas one. But I coudn't find any reference to that fact. Do you have one with quantitative estimation of that dominancy?
Hi Anton
In Plants Fibonacci Phyllotaxis is a dominant feature, wheres Lucas sequence constitutes a small percentage. Kindly look up: Stakhov and Aranson (2011): Applied Mathematics, 2, 181-188. and Phyllotaxis: A Systematic Study in Plant Morphogenesis. by Roger V. Jean (1994). Cambridge University Press, for insight. Best Wishes.
Hello Anton,
Here is what I found about percentages, when searching as directed in the answer of mr. Syed Abbas Jafar.

Dear Syed, the references to Stakhov and Aranson papers are very interesting. Thank you very much!
