Kerry M:Phyllotaxis-squared-midget
From Ultrafractal Wiki
Here's a squared midget from inside an embedded Julia set that exhibits phyllotaxis. You'll need to update your formulas for this one.
Phyllotaxis refers to the arrangement (-taxis) of leaves (phyllo-) in plants.
It's commonly seen in pine cones and sunflowers and is characterized by two spirals in opposite directions. Often, the numbers of arms are adjacent Fibonacci numbers. You can find some nice images of it by doing an image search on Google.
