coered with dry leaves
C. horizontally oriented stems that grow
along the soil surface.
D. sieve cells with albuminous cells

4. Bud
scales
5. Pulvinus
E. fluid filled sac-like structures found at
the base of the compound leaf and
each leaflet.
F. fibrous sheath around vascular
bundles
5. for vegetative
propagation; storage of starch.

7. Cladophyll G. hairy projection of the lamina in
grasses
8. Stolons.
H. fluid containing canals of the stele
8. folds the leaflets for protection
9. Tubers
I. foral leaves that fom at the base of a
flower or flower stalk
9. added surface area for
photosynthesis
10. Rhizome
10. prevents water and dirt from
accumulating between the sheath
and the stem.
11. protect buds from frost, desiccation
and pathogens
J. tough, overlapping, waterproof leaves
K. swollen vertically oriented stem
