Phyllotaxis can be identified with the study of spiral lattices which are useful as models for many botanical structures (arrangements of the inner florets of a daisy, of the scales of a pineapple...). We consider a geometrical idealization of such networks : a lattice of tangent circles aligned along a logarithmic spiral. using conditions for close-packing of such circles, we show that the parastichy numbers belong to a generalized Fibonacci sequence. Moreover, if « regular » parastichy transitions only occur in the lattice, the divergence tends to a noble number. On the contrary a rational number is reached after an infinite sequence of singular transitions.
