L-systems, or Lindenmayer systems, are a mathematical formalism introduced by the Hungarian botanist Aristid Lindenmayer in 1968 as a way to describe the growth processes of organisms, particularly plants. L-systems are particularly useful for modeling the branching structures of plants and other biological forms, as well as for generating fractal patterns and complex graphics.
