Which plant leaves are arranged artenately radially and opposite each other?

In botany, leaves that are arranged in an alternating pattern along the stem are known as "alternate" leaves, while "opposite" leaves grow in pairs at each node. Some plants can exhibit both leaf arrangements; for example, certain species within the genus Lonicera (honeysuckle) can have leaves that alternate along the stem but also have pairs of opposite leaves at different growth stages. In some cases, this can be observed in young shoots or specific parts of the plant, demonstrating a transition from one arrangement to another.
