that developed from axillary buds of younger leaves.<br />
Each clove is enclosed with sheath. Real stem is very<br />
short, flattened, form<strong>in</strong>g a disk at the base of the bulb.<br />
Leaves are distichous, glabrous, l<strong>in</strong>ear oblong, often<br />
V-shaped <strong>in</strong> section. Fruits are aborted and without<br />
seeds.<br />
