Evidence That Supertriangles Exist in Nature from the Vertical Projections of <i>Koelreuteria paniculata</i> Fruit

Many natural radial symmetrical shapes (e.g., sea stars) follow the Gielis equation (GE) or its twin equation (TGE). A supertriangle (three triangles arranged around a central polygon) represents such a shape, but no study has tested whether natural shapes can be represented as/are supertriangles or...
