In Ourex (fig. 36) each shoot remains under ground during the first year of its existence; it' rises in the spring of the second year, makes a tuft of leaves, and emits from the axil of the lowest of these a shoot, which lengthens during its first year, as its pre- decessor did. In the autumn the two-year- old shoot loses its leaves, but the axis, sheltered by their persistent bases, lengthens, and sends up flowers and leaves in the spring of the third year, when it dies. During the fol- lowing autumn the flowering stem fruits and dies, together with the old shoot that but the second year's shoot, which has now produced a tuft of leaves, will in its turn flower in the following year. A shoot of Carex thus requires three years for its full development. The stem is stoloni- j^ ferous (c. stolnnifer) when ,#==s5$Jg^ ^^^-^ creeping shoots [flagellum) spring from the axils of its lower leaves, develop ter- minal tufts of leaves, then rise, and produce root- fibres below the tufts [Creeping Buttercup; Straw- berry, fig. 37). The rosette (propagulum.) is the tuft of ""â strawberry. Creeping ,tem. leaves produced on the lateral shoots of succulent plants (Roiiseleek). The stem may present both stolons and rootstoch when some of the lower branches are underground, and others aerial and c
