Question
A detached leaf of Bryophyllum produces new plants. How?
Solution
In Bryophyllum, the leaf is succulent and notched on its margin. Adventitious buds develop at these notches and are called epiphyllous buds. They develop into new plants forming a root system and become independent plants when the leaf gets decayed.
