bulblets
Small vegetative propagules
Bulblets are small bulbs that form on the parent plant, typically at the base of a larger bulb or along the stem.
They serve as a means of vegetative reproduction—each bulblet can be separated and planted to grow a new plant genetically identical to the parent.
Lilies and garlic commonly produce bulblets.
She harvested the bulblets to propagate her tiger lilies.
