Of subterranean steins tliere are the following varieties: (a) Jiltizotnc, or Itootsfork: a horizontal, more or less lieshy, perennial underground stem, which jiroduces each season a new bud at its extremity, from which the annual overground .stem developed, as in Trillium, Bloodroot, and most of our early-flowering lierbs (Fig. 14).
