		Usually, this is the case-stem tissue begets stem tissue and root tissue begets root tissue.
		Because they are stems, rhizomes have nodes and buds along their length; new plants can arise at these nodes.
		Most of the underground plant parts that are important in asexual propagation also function as food storage structures.

	BBC NEWS England Tube lines remain closed
		London Underground said the line was closed to stem overcrowding caused by a signal failure at Finsbury Park in north London.
		Mr Livingstone, who is offering a confidential hotline for Tube drivers to report safety concerns, said he would increase confidence in the network when he takes control of the Underground.
		There have been very few accidents on London Underground in its 140-year history and Tube managers insist their record is "second to none".

	Butcher's Broom
		Butcher's Broom can be made into a tea using 2 to 4 teaspoons of twigs or 1 to 2 teaspoons of fresh underground stem per cup of boiling water.
		Used by ancient Greek physicians as a laxative and a diuretic for flushing excess water from the body, Butcher's Broom fell into disrepute until the 1950s, when a French scientist discovered two chemicals from the plant's underground stem that cause blood vessels to narrow and help reduce inflammation.
		Folklore tells us that bundles of Butcher's Broom were used to preserve hanging meat from mice, but more often the bundles were simply used to sweep butcher blocks clean.

	Bulb Anatomy Printout - EnchantedLearning.com
		A bulb is an underground, modified stem that develops in some flowering plants.
		In plants with bulbs, an underground storage bulb during the growing season; the upper part of the plant dies as the weather becomes cold or dry.
		Bulbs are usually globular and have concentric layers of fleshy leaves covering the short stem.

		Tuberous root —an enlarged underground root with buds located near the collar or base of the stem.
		Tuber —an enlarged underground stem with latent buds from which the plant emerges.
		After the root system has begun to grow and the leaf shoots or the flower bud begins to emerge, move the pot to a warmer location with a higher light intensity.

	Primulaceae (Primrose Family)
		Trientalis latifolia (Pacific Starflower), found on Montara Mountain, can be easily grown from seed in the garden, but propagates so aggressively through underground stems that it may become more of a bother than an asset.
		Members of Primulaceae are nearly all herbaceous (lacking a woody stem) plants with simple leaves that are either basal (at the base of the stem), distributed along the stem, or in a single whorl.
		(It's always nice to see a native that acts as aggressive as the aliens.) Our other common representative of Primulaceae is the everpresent invasive Anagallis arvenis, or Scarlet Pimpernel.

	The Stangeriaceae
		As with other low-growing cycads, the roots are contractile, working to pull the stem further underground as the stem grows upwards, and thus keeping the plant below ground.
		The stem will branch in some individuals, producing a clonal colony.
		Colonies of the cycad may be found growing in the rocky coastal grassveld and into the shady inland forests.

	Royal Fern
		The stem (rhizome) is underground just below the soil surface and is very slow growing.
		The familiar fern plant with the stem, roots and leaves is the diploid sporophyte.
		Thus royal ferns do not occur in the flood plain forests along the Connecticut River where plants must be adapted to frequent stem and root burial by the river's sediments.

	"Follow your leaders, but first follow your God"
		The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association and the Three-Selves Patriotic Movement, the state run Catholic and Protestant church, was created to stem the growth of underground Christianity but has been ineffective in slowing the explosive growth of the movement.
		With the Chinese government putting pressure on the Christians you wind up with an underground church almost entirely made up of people who have genuinely found Christ, unlike here in America where SOME people describe themselves as Christian simply for the "fun" of it.
		The story mentioned that some of the Catholic churches have teamed up with the underground church, but it did not mention the Protestant church.

	Sustainable organic gardening made simple.
		A tuber, which is an underground stem that stores food, differs from the true bulb or corm in that it has no covering of dry leaves and no basal plant from which the roots grow.
		A tuberous root is the only one from this group that is a real root; its food supply is kept in root tissue, not in stem or leaf tissue as in other bulbs.
		A rhizome is a thickened stem that grows horizontally, weaving its way along or below the surface of the soil and at intervals sending stems above ground.

		The common potato isn't a root at all: it's a tuber -the swollen tip of an underground stem.
		Roots that arise from the stem (or any other non-root tissue) are called adve ntitious roots.
		Tu berous roots are enlarged secondary roots; because they are root tissue, not stem tissue, they have no nodes or buds.

	Vegetative reproduction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Natural vegetative reproduction is mostly a process of herbaceous and woody perennials, and typically involves structural modifications of the stem, although any horizontal, underground part of a plant (whether stem or a root) can contribute to vegetative reproduction of a plant.
		A rhizome is a modified stem serving as an organ of vegetative reproduction.
		Man-made methods of vegetative reproduction are usually enhancements of natural processes, but range from simple cloning such as rooting of cuttings to artificial propagation by laboratory tissue cloning.

		Brodiaea filifolia is a perennial herb in the Liliaceae (lily family) that produces leaves and flower stalks from dark-brown, fibrous-coated underground corms (underground bulb-like storage stem that lacks succulent leaves).
		All of the Brodiaea filifolia on-site occurred in the Northwest parcel and was estimated to consist of 7,000 individuals.
		Brodiaea filifolia has also been found in the San Mateo Wilderness Area near the northern border of San Diego and Riverside counties and in the Miller Peak area in the Santa Ana Mountains of western Riverside County.

	Tulip, Daffodil, Canna, Calla Lily Bulb Information
		A rhizome, such as canna, is a thickened underground stem that grows horizontally, with bud eyes on top and roots below.
		A tuberous rooted plant such as the dahlia, has swollen, food-storing roots; the bud eyes are not on the roots but on the base of the plant& stem.
		A tuber, such as a fancy leafed calladium or calla lily, is also a solid mass of storage tissue with buds but no basal plate.

		Several nodes and internodes remain condensed underground, forming the crown (Figure 5).
		Above the crown, internodes elongate resulting in a stem length of 2.5 m or more under favorable conditions.
		The lower nodes of the stem form lateral branches.The lateral branches may develop into tillers which are like full maize plants (Figure 5).

		A corm is a short, vertical, swollen underground stem of a plant (usually one of the monocots) that serves as a storage organ to enable the plant to survive winter or other adverse conditions such as summer drought and heat (estivation).
		Primary and secondary roots in a cotton plant In vascular plants, the root is that organ of a plant body that typically lies below the surface of the soil (compare with stem).
		A tuber is a part of a rhizome thickened for use as a storage organ, usually, though not always, subterranean, such as a potato.

	Butterbur
		Butterbur - a stout perennial herb arising from a coarse rhizome (underground stem) and having a hollow, thick, reddish-brown leafless aerial stem, (called a scape) covered with lance-shaped scales and terminating in a dense club-shaped cluster of flowerheads.
		Butterbur has tonic and expectorant properties, and is antispasmodic and analgesic, acting specifically on the stomach, bile ducts, and duodenum.
		In subsequent herbal tradition butterbur acquired a reputation as a remedy for gravel (small kidney stones), as an antispasmodic, and as a colic medicine.
