These stolon-like rhizomes are long and thin, with long internodes and indeterminate growth with lateral buds at the node, which mostly remain dormant. [citation needed] In potatoes, the stolons [15] start to grow within 10 days of plants emerging above ground, with tubers usually beginning to form on the end of the stolons. [16]
Brachyscome dissectifolia is a perennial flowering plant with slender, ascending stoloniferous stems to 17 cm (6.7 in) high that are mostly smooth except for occasional hairs at the base of leaves. The leaves are oblong-lance shaped, arranged at the base, up to 6.5 cm (2.6 in) long, margins entire or deeply lobed.
A geophyte (earth+plant) is a plant with an underground storage organ including true bulbs, corms, tubers, tuberous roots, enlarged hypocotyls, and rhizomes. Most plants with underground stems are geophytes but not all plants that are geophytes have underground stems. Geophytes are often physiologically active even when they lack leaves.
A stolon is similar to a rhizome, but stolon sprouts from an existing stem having long internodes and generating new shoots at the ends, they are often also called runners such as in the strawberry plant. [9] Stolons growing from nodes from a corm of Crocosmia
It has red-skinned stolon roots and rhizomes, glaucous, long, blue-grey leaves, and bi-coloured flowers, in various shades from milky white, to blue, purple, pale lilac, lavender and brown. It normally has blue to yellow beards on all the petals.
The nodes are the eyes and each has a leaf scar. The nodes or eyes are arranged around the tuber in a spiral fashion beginning on the end opposite the attachment point to the stolon. The terminal bud is produced at the farthest point away from the stolon attachment and tubers, and thus show the same apical dominance as a normal stem.
Veronica filiformis is a species of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae. It is known by many common names, including slender speedwell, creeping speedwell, threadstalk speedwell and Whetzel weed. It is native to eastern Europe and western Asia, and it is known in many other regions as an introduced species.
Tiarella stolonifera is a perennial, herbaceous plant with a short, slender rhizome. It has a leafless flowering stem and relatively small basal leaves without an extended terminal lobe. [5] Most importantly, the species has the ability to produce stolons. The heart-shaped basal leaves of Tiarella stolonifera resemble those of species in other ...
