Bulbils
A bulbil (also referred to as a bulbel, bulblet, and/or pup) is a small, young plant that is reproduced vegetatively from axillary buds on the parent plant's stem or in place of a flower on an inflorescence. These young plants are clones of the parent plant that produced them—they have identical genetic material. The formation of bulbils is a form of asexual reproduction, as they can eventually go on to form new stand-alone plants. Although some bulbils meet the botanical criterion to be considered a true bulb, there are a variety of different morphological forms of bulbils, some of which are not considered to be bulbs. Hence the reason for distinction between bulbs and bulbils. For example, some bulbous plant groups, like onions and lilies, produce bulbils in the form of a secondary, small bulb. Onion and lily bulbils meet the botanical criterion to be labeled a true bulb. All bulbils produced by bulbous plants are to be considered bulbs, but not all bulbils are to be con ...

Allium Vineale
''Allium vineale'' (wild garlic, onion grass, crow garlic or stag's garlic) is a perennial, bulb-forming species of wild onion, native to Europe, northwestern Africa, and the Middle East. The species was introduced in Australia and North America, where it has become an invasive species. Description All parts of the plant have a strong garlic odour. The underground bulb is 1–2 cm diameter, with a fibrous outer layer. The main (flower) stem grows to 30–120 cm tall, bearing 2–4 leaves and an apical inflorescence 2–5 cm diameter comprising a number of small bulbils and none to a few flowers, subtended by a basal bract. The leaves are slender hollow tubes, 15–60 cm long and 2–4 mm thick, waxy texture, with a groove along the side of the leaf facing the stem. Although very similar with the leaves of '' Allium schoenoprasum'' (Chives), they tend to be more fibrous, have more vertical grooves, and the grooves are better defined than the leaves of ...

Bistorta Vivipara
''Bistorta vivipara'' (synonym ''Persicaria vivipara'') is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the knotweed and buckwheat family Polygonaceae, commonly known as alpine bistort. Scientific synonyms include ''Bistorta vivipara'' and ''Polygonum viviparum''. It is common all over the high Arctic through Europe, North America, incl. Greenland, and temperate and tropical Asia. Its range stretches further south in high mountainous areas such as the Alps, Carpathians, Pyrenees, Caucasus, Alaska and the Tibetan Plateau. Taxonomy Molecular phylogenetic work has demonstrated that the genus ''Bistorta'' represents a distinct lineage within the family Polygonaceae. The genus ''Bistorta'' contains at least 42 accepted species. Description Alpine bistort is a perennial herb that grows to tall. It has a thick rhizomatous rootstock and an erect, unbranched, hairless stem. The leaves are hairless on the upper surfaces, but hairy and greyish-green below. The basal ones are longish-ellipt ...

Bulb
In botany, a bulb is a short underground stem with fleshy leaves or leaf basesBell, A.D. 1997. ''Plant form: an illustrated guide to flowering plant morphology''. Oxford University Press, Oxford, U.K. that function as food storage organs during dormancy. In gardening, plants with other kinds of storage organ are also called ornamental bulbous plants or just ''bulbs''. Description The bulb's leaf bases, also known as scales, generally do not support leaves, but contain food reserves to enable the plant to survive adverse conditions. At the center of the bulb is a vegetative growing point or an unexpanded flowering shoot. The base is formed by a reduced stem, and plant growth occurs from this basal plate. Roots emerge from the underside of the base, and new stems and leaves from the upper side. Tunicate bulbs have dry, membranous outer scales that protect the continuous lamina of fleshy scales.

Paleoallium Billgenseli SR 00-05-23 A
up'' Allium cepa'' bulbils ''Paleoallium'' is an extinct genus of onion-like plant in the family Amaryllidaceae known from the single described species ''Paleoallium billgenseli''. The species is known from Early Eocene sediments exposed in the northeast of the U.S. state of Washington. Distribution ''Paleoallium billgenseli'' is described from fossils found in a single location in the Eocene Okanagan Highlands, an outcrop of the Ypresian Klondike Mountain Formation in Republic. The type series of fossils, the holotype, paratypes and additional included fossils were recovered from the UWBM site B4131, which is designated the type locality. Modern work on the fossil-bearing strata of the Formation via radiometrically dating has given an estimated age in the Late Ypresian stage of the early Eocene, between at the youngest, with an oldest age estimate of , given based on detrital zircon isotopic data published in 2021.

Asplenium Bulbiferum
''Asplenium bulbiferum'', known as mother spleenwort, is a fern species native to New Zealand only. It is also called hen and chicken fern and, in the Māori language, pikopiko, mouku or mauku. Its fronds are eaten as a vegetable. It grows small bulbils on top of its fronds. Once grown to about , these offspring fall off and, provided the soil they land in is kept moist, develop a root system and grow into new ferns. This additional means of reproduction can be employed with greater ease than propagation by spores. There are a number of similar Southern Hemisphere species which have a similar mode of reproduction, including '' Asplenium daucifolium''. ''Asplenium bulbiferum'' commonly grows in most bush areas in New Zealand. It thrives in many situations from shade to partial sunlight. Similar species It is often confused with '' Asplenium gracillimum'' which is a fern species native to both New Zealand and Australia Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Austral ...

Cicuta Bulbifera
''Cicuta bulbifera'', commonly known as the bulb-bearing water-hemlock, is a plant native to North America and one of four species in the poisonous genus ''Cicuta''. Tiny bulbils form in the leaf joints in the upper part of the plant, giving the plant its scientific and common names. ''Cicuta bulbifera'' can be distinguished from '' Cicuta douglasii'' by its narrow leaflet segments (less than 1/4 of an inch wide) and its bulbil-bearing upper leaf axils. Morphology This perennial plant reaches tall with limited branching. The stems are light green to slightly reddish, glabrous, and glaucous from epicuticular wax. The compound, alternate leaves are green, also glaucous (excluding petioles), and up to , becoming smaller as they ascend the stems. Lower leaves are bipinnate, while the upper leaves are often simple-pinnate. The petioles of the lower leaves are long, but those of the shorter leaves are much shorter or even absent. Leaflets (pinnae) are up to long and across; they are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tree Onion
The tree onion (''Allium'' × ''proliferum'') is a perennial plant similar to the common onion (''A. cepa''), but with a cluster of bulblets where a normal onion would have flowers. Tree onions are also known as topsetting onions, walking onions, or Egyptian onions. Genomic evidence has suggested that they may be a diploid hybrid of the shallot and the Welsh onion (''A. fistulosum''). Other sources treat the tree onion as ''A. cepa'' var. ''proliferum'' or ''A. cepa'' Proliferum Group. Tree onion bulblets will sprout and grow while still on the original stalk. The bulblets are usually marble-sized, between 0.5 cm to 3 cm in diameter. They may bend down under the weight of the new growth and take root some distance from the parent plant, giving rise to the name "walking onion". It has been postulated that the name "Egyptian onion" derived from Romani people {{Infobox ethnic group , group = Romani people , image = , ...

Allium Paradoxum
''Allium paradoxum'', the few-flowered garlic or few-flowered leek, is an Asian species of wild onion in the Amaryllis family. It is native to mountainous regions of Iran, Caucasus, and Turkmenistan and invasive in Europe. Description ''Allium paradoxum'' is a herbaceous perennial growing from a small solitary bulb to about in height. It has much narrower leaves, from wide, than ''Allium ursinum'' but a similar 'garlicky' smell. The flower stem is triangular in section. Most of the flowers are replaced by little bulbs or bulbils and the few (usually only one) proper flowers are white and hermaphrodite. Distribution ''Allium paradoxum'' is native to mountainous regions of Iran, Caucasus, and Turkmenistan. It was introduced to the British Isles in 1823 and was first recorded in the wild there in 1863, near Edinburgh. It is generally a lowland plant, and the highest record for Britain comes from Carter Bar at . It is considered an invasive, non-native species in Europe. In En ...
