(Vegetative propagules)

List II

(Example)

A. Leaf buds IV. Bryophyllum
B. Rhizome III. Ginger

Bryophyllum can be reproduced by vegetative propagation by using either a piece of its stem or leaves. The leaves of a Bryophyllum plant have special buds in their margins which may get detached from the leaves, fall to the ground and then grow to produce a new plant.Adventitious buds arise from the notches present at margins of leaves of Bryophyllum.

In plants, the term vegetative reproduction is frequently used in place of asexual reproduction. Plants use various vegetative propagule units such as runners of grasses, rhizome of ginger, tuber of potato, offset of water hyacinth and bulbil of agave are all capable of giving rise to new offspring.
