We present a rule based modelling system that allows the graphical interactive definition of botanical structures such as plants, including partial and global constraints and free form deformations. The main idea is to represent the rule system by a structure tree with components of high functionality. In comparison to other rule based approaches, complex branching structures can be developed faster and more flexible.
