In the verticillate or simultaneous arrangement of leaves the case is somewhat different. From Wordnik.com. [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
The root-leaves are somewhat heart-shaped, thick, and fleshy; stem simple, with verticillate branches; flower dioecious. From Wordnik.com. [The Field and Garden Vegetables of America Containing Full Descriptions of Nearly Eleven Hundred Species and Varietes; With Directions for Propagation, Culture and Use.] Reference
When the leaves are verticillate and numerous, and they become coherent by their margins, they form a foliaceous tube around the stem. From Wordnik.com. [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
The leaves are of a pale green colour, sometimes a little bronzed at the tips, veined, entire, bald, lance-shaped, and, as before hinted, verticillate; they vary much in size, being from 1in. to. From Wordnik.com. [Hardy Perennials and Old Fashioned Flowers Describing the Most Desirable Plants, for Borders, Rockeries, and Shrubberies.] Reference
Displacement of the parts of the flower from elongation of the receptacle is a not infrequent teratological occurrence, resulting sometimes in the conversion of the verticillate into the spiral arrangement. From Wordnik.com. [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
In addition to these changes, which are those most commonly met with, the number of the parts of the flower is sometimes augmented, and a tendency to pass from the verticillate to the spiral arrangement manifested. From Wordnik.com. [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
Where the individual floral elements are thus thrown out of their usual verticillate arrangement, they naturally assume a spiral disposition, and are, in some cases, united by their margins, so that a spiral sheet or tube is formed, surrounding the axis. From Wordnik.com. [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
Again, the simultaneous evolution of the parts of the flower and their consequent verticillate arrangement, are often associated with the production of different forms from those characteristic of organs developed in succession, and, in consequence, arranged spirally. From Wordnik.com. [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
If, on the other hand, the carpels be few in number, and placed in a verticillate manner, the axis then generally passes upwards without any change in the form or position of the carpels being apparent, as in a proliferous columbine, figured in the 'Linnean Transactions,' vol. xxiii, tab. 34, fig. 5. From Wordnik.com. [Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants] Reference
In the case of the leaves there are two principal modes of arrangement, dependent, as it would seem, on their simultaneous or on their successive development; thus, if two leaves on opposite sides of the stem are developed at the same time, we have the arrangement called opposite; if there are more than two, the disposition is then called verticillate or whorled.
