What is another word for stoloniferous?
Pronunciation: [stˌɒlənˈɪfəɹəs] (IPA) 
Stoloniferous refers to the characteristic of producing stolons, which are horizontal stems that grow along the ground and give rise to new plants at the nodes. Some synonyms for stoloniferous include rhizomatous, runner, creeping, trailing, and prostrate. Rhizomatous suggests that the plant has underground stems that produce new shoots. A runner plant spreads by sending out shoots or runners that root at each node. Creeping is used for plants that grow close to the ground, forming a mat-like carpet. Trailing is similar to creeping, but refers to plants that hang down from a pot or container. Prostrate means that the plant grows flat along the ground, often with a woody stem.
