In the tristichous phyllotaxy, denoted by fraction J, one cycle includes three leaves arranged in three orthostichies and one complete turn of the spiral; in the pentastichous phyllotaxy, denoted by the fraction f, the cycle includes five leaves arranged in five orthostichies and two complete turns of the spiral.
