The membranous bases of its withered leaves cover the corm externally, while their axillary buds may provide additional corms. The perennation is thUs carried out by a sympodial series of storage-corms (Fig. 131).

In other cases the storage is in lateral branches borne in large numbers, as in the Potato and Jerusalem Artic
