More distichous refers to an arrangement of leaves or branches on a stem that is opposite each other in two vertical rows. Some synonyms for more distichous include "opposite," "alternate," "decussate," and "crosswise." Opposite is very similar to distichous because it refers to a leaf arrangement where the leaves are placed directly across from one another on the stem. Alternate can also be used to describe a leaf arrangement where the leaves are spaced out in alternating pairs along the stem. Decussate is a word used to describe a leaf arrangement that forms an "x" pattern along the stem, and crosswise means leaves are arranged at right angles to each other.
