A small bulb that develops above ground from
a bud. Bulbils may be formed on the stem from
axillary buds, as in Saxifraga hypnoides, or
in the place of flowers, as seen in many
species of onion (Allium). They drop off the
parent plant and develop into new
individuals, providing a means of vegetative
reproduction and dispersal.
