Bulbil

A more or less formed vegetatively produced primordium of a future plant in the form of a small rosette of leaves or a small bulb. After natural separation from the parent plant it serves for vegetative reproduction. Bulbils may arise in inflorescences (for example, in some Liliaceae and grasses), on leaves (Kalanchoe) and in their axils, on various parts of and around the periphery of bulbs (off…
