Abstract
IT has been shown that the removal of the rhizome apex in the ostrich fern (Matteuccia struthiopteris) and in Onoclea sensibilis is attended by bud development at specific positions along the rhizome. These positions are occupied by superficial areas of meristematic cells, or detached meristems, which at an earlier stage formed part of the apical meristem. Those buds which arise in older regions of the rhizome have no vascular connexion with the shoot stele1,2.
