Abstract
By means of a computer model certain essential aspects of the vegetative and flowering development of Hieracium murorum have been successfully simulated. The model is based on local control mechanisms operating over a large number of units and is stated in terms of the theory of developmental systems and languages. The model is constructed as a table deterministic 〈1,1〉 L-system. The model is especially concerned with the correlation mechanisms between the various differentiating parts of the plant.
