Slender horizontal stem that can form new plants via specialized nodes.
Lateral offshoot of a plant which creeps horizontally to produce daughter plants. submitted by Adrian
for instance strawberries. When stems root at the tip and grow new plants on contact with favourable soil.
A slender stolon (see definition) with elongated internodes. These root at the nodes that touch the ground. Example: strawberries.
A prostrate stem above ground which can drop roots into the ground from it's tip.
An above ground propagative stem, rooting at the tip to form new plants. [RA
A stem that grows on the surface of the soil that often develops new plants at the nodes or the tip.
A specialized stem which develops from the axil of a leaf at the crown of a plant, grows horizontally along the ground, and forms a new plant at one of the nodes.
a horizontal branch from the base of plant that produces new plants from buds at its tips
a slender stem - sent out from the bases of certain perennial s - at the end of which an offset develops
a slender stem that originates in a leaf axil and grows along the ground or downward from a hanging basket, producing a new plant at its tip
a very slender, thread-like, leafless stolon, much like a tendril, lying on the ground, and rooting and budding to give rise to a new plant some distance from parent plant
A spreading, slender stem that grows along the ground and roots to produce a new plant.
A horizontal stem growing just above the surface of the gravel and rooting at its nodes.
An aboveground, more or less horizontal stem that produces buds at nodes, from which roots and new growth form. Compare stolon.
A lateral stem that grows horizontally along the ground surface and gives rise to new plants either from axillary or terminal buds. cf stolon.
A thin stem or shoot growing along the ground and producing roots at the nodes.
a very slender, wiry stem, as in the strawberry, that grows along the surface of the soil and propagates by producing roots and shoots at the node at the tip. Also known as a stolon. Return to
A stem that creeps on top of or underneath the surface of the ground. Runners form roots at intervals and grow a new plant from these roots.
A stem that grows flat along the top of the ground.
A slender stem growing out from the base of some plants, which terminates with a new offset plant. The new plant may be severed from the parent after it has developed sufficient roots.
Horizontal stem growing above the ground and which can form roots at the nodes and tips
