| The petiole of the third expanded leaf, counted from the growing tip of the stolon, should be selected for measurement. |
| This stolon is simply the stalk by which each median bud was primitively attached to the stolon of the first asexual form. |
| Lateral branches growing directly from the primary stolon are designated first-order branches. |
| The stolon, like that in salpa, contains a prolongation of the branchial sack. |
| On this stolon there develop two entirely different types of buds, lateral buds, dorsal median buds. |
| Upon the death of the seminal root the plant fragments into several independent stolon systems and begins the clonal stage of its life cycle. |
