A question about names
David Ehrlich (Mon, 03 Sep 2012 14:56:06 PDT)
I have been using the word bulbil to refer to the above ground
bulb-like/corm-like propagules which develop in the leaf axils of mature
plants. I use bulblet and cormel to refer to the subterranean offsets produced
by bulbs and corms respectively. I don't know whether this is correct usage, or
even whether it matters a great deal. What do other members of the group think?
Thank you,
David E.
