摘要
Lindenmayer systems (L-systems) are used to model the structure and development of several species of seaweed. The agreement between the images produced by the models and the actual plants is very good. Two species exhibit the fractal property of self-similarity to at least four levels of recursion. The possibility of a relation between the L-systems coding and the biological coding mechanism is noted.
