Instructions: Give at least 5 examples of the following patterns with pictures and
explain their characteristic.

a. SYMMETRIES
Aeonium canariense is a succulent plant with rosettes
of bright green leaves that become tinged with red
when grown in the spring sun. It grows up to 1 foot (30
cm) tall when not in bloom. The rosettes are up to 8
inches (20 cm) in diameter. Each rosette is
monocarpic, which means it dies right after it flowers.
Blooming stems packed with cream – yellow flowers
emerge in summer, reaching up to 3 feet (90 cm).

AEONIUM CANARIENSE
(GIANT VELVET ROSE)

Kalachuchi is a small, deciduous tree, 3 to 7 meters high,

with a crooked trunk, smooth and shining stems, succulent,
with abundant sticky, milky latex. Bark has a smooth, papery
outer layer which is grey, shining, and constantly exfoliating
in small flakes. Wood is yellowish-white and soft. Branches
are thick, fleshy, swollen and leafy at the tips. Leaves are
crowded at the terminal end of the branch, commonly
oblong in shape, 20 to 40 centimeters long, 7 centimeters
wide, spirally arranged at the ends of the branches. Flowers
are numerous, fragrant and large, the upper portion whitish,
while the inner lower portion yellow, 5 to 6 centimeters long.
Fruits are linear-oblong or ellipsoid follicles, with a pointed
tip, 15 to 20 centimeters long, 1.5 to 2 centimeters in KALACHUCHI
diameters. Seeds are numerous and winged.
Starfish are invertebrate creatures, which make up a large
group of marine species, where cucumbers and sea urchins
are probably the most common. There are more than 2000
species of these animals scattered throughout the oceans,
which can never remain in fresh water. The starfish are
carnivorous creatures whose diet is based on crustaceans
and mollusks. Hard plates under their skin instead of a
backbone. Spines or spicules covering the top (or dorsal)
surface. Hundreds of tube feet, which help feeding and STARFISH
movement. A mouth that is located in the centre of their bottom
side (the ventral surface). When a sea star feeds, it is able to push the lower part of
its stomach out through its mouth. The stomach then covers the prey
and digestion begins. Structures on the ends of their arms that help them to detect
changes in light. A good sense of smell. The ability to regenerate a lost limb. Some sea
stars can even regenerate a new animal from one limb. A complex network of nerves,
called a nerve net that serves the same purpose as the central nervous system in
humans. The ability to reproduce by releasing a free-swimming larval stage, as well as
through fission or asexual reproduction. This means that the sea star can physically
divide itself into 2 to reproduce. Chemical defenses under their skin to deter predators.

Onion is the common name for the herbaceous, cold

season plant Allium cepa, which is characterized by an
edible, rounded bulb composed of concentric, fleshy,
tightly packed, and enlarged leaf bases. Onion is also the
name of this edible bulb, which is commercially valuable
and known for its pungent oil that departs a strong taste.

Maple leaves are lobed round and symmetrical. The

ends of the lobes are pointed. The leaf margin is serrate
and the petiole is often longer than the leaf and red.
The leaf position on opposite. Palmate, green above
and pale green below, highly serrated margins, 3- 5
lobes with 'v' shaped divisions. Red maples grow
throughout the Keystone State and typically reach
about 50 feet high. They have leaves with three to five
shallow lobes, and have many teeth on each leaf. The
wood of the red maple is much softer than the sugar
maple.

 b. FRACTALS
Trees are tall, big, and strong plants. They usually live
for a long time. Tree is a woody, perennial plant with a
single main stem, general branching at some distance
from the ground and possessing a more or less distinct,
elevated crown. Trees provide shade and shelter,
timber for construction, fuel for cooking and heating,
and fruit for food as well as having many other uses.
The tree produces the oxygen we breathe and clean
carbon dioxide out of the air. They prevent erosion of the
soil, as well as provide a home for a variety of animals. BRANCHING TREE

Ferns are seedless vascular plants of humid tropics

and temperate areas. Some ferns live under sub-
arctic conditions as well. They constitute the largest
living group of primitive vascular plants with over
10,000 species. Ferns once dominated the earth in
carboniferous period (about 300 million years ago).
Plant body is a sporophyte. It is differentiated into true
stem, leaves and roots. The stem is underground
rhizome in most of the ferns. Some primitive ferns have
above-ground stem with tree-like habit. They are
called tree ferns, e.g., Cyathaea, Celeotium. A tree
fern is like a small palm. It may reach a maximum
height of 20 m. Roots are adventitious. Leaves are
large and are called fronds. They are often graceful.
Leaves may be simple or pinnately compound. In a
pinnately compound leaf, the lamina is divided
laterally into leaflets.
FERNS

A snowflake begins life as a tiny droplet of supercooled

water which freezes in the sky to create an ice crystal.
The droplet becomes frozen either because
temperatures are sufficiently cold (it would have to be
−35 °C or lower) to freeze to other droplets, or in clouds
above -35 °C, they can form around a nucleus such as a
dust or pollen particle. Once the ice crystal has formed,
if the conditions are right it will begin to grow, as water
molecules in the air are deposited onto the ice crystal as
SNOWFLAKES
it falls through the air, and clump together to form a snowflake.
All snowflakes contain six sides or points owing to the way in which they form. The
molecules in ice crystals join to one another in a hexagonal structure, an arrangement
which allows water molecules - each with one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms - to
form together in the most efficient way.
Dry land, besides being water deficient, are characterized by
high evaporation rates, exceptionally high day temperature
during summer, low humidity and high run off and soil erosion. The
soils of such areas are often found to be saline and low in fertility.
Uncertain, ill-.distributed and limited annual rainfall. Occurrence
of extensive climatic hazards like drought, flood etc. Undulating
soil surface. Occurrence of extensive and large holdings. Practice
of extensive agriculture i.e. prevalence of mono-cropping etc.

DRY LAND

River is a wide, natural stream of freshwater that flows

into an ocean or other large body of water and is
usually fed by smaller streams, called tributaries that
enter it along its course. Rivers, the flowing bodies of
water are dynamic and constantly change according
to the water flow. A river is a ribbon-like body of water
that flows downhill from the force of gravity. A river can
be wide and deep, or shallow enough for a person to
wade across. A flowing body of water that is smaller
than a river is called a stream, creek, or brook. Some rivers flow RIVER
year-round, while others flow only during certain seasons or
when there has been a lot of rain. The largest rivers can be thousands of miles long.

c. SPIRALS
Snail body consists of five main parts – the head, the
neck, the visceral hump, the tail and the foot. Snail
has a pale grey, moist skin and a large, brown or
yellowish shell with paler flecking and darker, spiraling
bands. They come out at night to feed and rest during
the day in sheltered places, such as under rocks.
SNAIL

Albuca Spiralis or also known as Frizzle Sizzle native to

South Africa, is a bulb succulent that can grow up to 8-
inches tall. This plant is known for its long and narrow but
attractive, dark green corkscrew leaves. Each leaf has
glandular hairs, making it feel a bit sticky when
touched. And from late Winter to Spring, 10 to 20 large,
yellow-green flowers with a strong vanilla fragrance can
emerge on each spike. By its characteristics can be
grown in a pot throughout its life, something that in fact
will come in handy if we live in an area where frosts ALBUCA SPIRALIS
occur.
Millipedes have two pairs of short legs on each body
segment, a rounded body, and a hard external skeleton.
Their legs are tucked under the body and difficult to see.
The number of body segments varies with the species
(estimated in the range of 10,000 species), but the
number of pairs of legs generally ranges between 40
and 400. Millipedes have short antennae and move in
slow waves, burrowing and eating their way through
moist leaf clutter, fungi, and decayed plant material on
the ground. As they plow through the soil, munching on
dead plants and other vegetation, they aerate and MILLIPEDE
enrich the soil, much like earthworms.

Tragelaphus Strepsiceros or greater kudu are one of the

tallest antelopes, with shoulder heights ranging from 100
cm to 150 cm. Greater kudus have the largest horns in the
bushbuck tribe, averaging 120 cm in length. The body
color of the greater kudu varies from reddish brown to
blue-gray, with the darkest individuals found in the
southern populations. The color of the males darkens with
age. Along its back, the kudu has six to ten stripes. Its tail is
black tipped with a white underside.

GREATER KUDU

Neptune Hybrid Tea Rose (or the overwhelming

majority of them) is the presence of elongated pointed
buds and double flowers of a beautiful goblet shape.
The leaves are dark green, highly shiny. The growth
vigor of the bush is moderate, its height is 90 cm. A
Hybrid Tea flower can reach a width of 8-12.5cm and
contain up to 60 petals. Unlike other roses that produce
clusters of flowers, the Hybrid Tea rose has only one
blossom per stem.
