Those plants which are classified as 补苍补苍迟补-办腻测补s (e.g., 辫颈峁囜笉腻濒耻) seem to be chosen because of certain morphological peculiarities such as the possession of bulbs or rhizomes orthe habit of periodically shedding their leaves; and in general theyare characterized by possibilities of vegetative reproduction.
