Paleochronic reversion inPsophocarpus, the decompression function in floral anatomic fields

Paleochronic reversion (an atavism) in Psophocarpus presents a basic floral phylloid ground state. That ground state can quickly change as permutation transformation (T x ) begins. The form of permutation can vary as phyllotactic phylloid (T Phyld ) and/or floral axial decompression (T Axl ) presenting linear elongation (T Long ), rotational (T Rtn ) and/or lateral (T Lat ) components. Research with 70 reverted floral specimens documented varying degrees of phyllotactic permutation at the bracts (Bt) region and inter-bracts (IBS) sub-region of the pre-whorls pedicel-bracts anatomic zone. Permutation further yielded an inter-zonal pericladial stalk (PCL). It continued at the floral whorls zone: the calyx (Cl), corolla (Crla), androecium (Andr), and gynoecium (Gynec) with components therein. These organ regions present a continuum as an axial dynamic vector space £Taxi of floral permutation dominated by axial expansion (AE) so that an anatomic sequence of permutation activity runs from the bracts (Bt) region to the carpel (Crpl) inclusive with components therein, summarized by the formula: stamen fltn Andr spiral Crpl ± (Crpl web ± VASCARP ± Crpl diadn ± Crpl fltn ± [fltn no] ± Crpl Rtn) = T x . The flower reverts from a system of determinate growth to one of indeterminate growth.
