A bulb is an underground
vertical shoot that has modified leaves that are used
as food storage organs by a dormant plant.
A bulb's leaf bases generally do not support leaves, but contain food reserves
to enable the plant to survive adverse conditions. The leaf bases may resemble
scales, or they may overlap and surround the center of the bulb as with the
onion. A modified stem forms the base of the bulb, and plant growth occurs from
this basal plate. Roots emerge from the underside of the base, and new stems and
leaves from the upper side.
Plants that form true bulbs are all monocotyledons, and include:
Onion, garlic, and other alliums, family Alliaceae.
Lily, tulip, and many other members of the lily family Liliaceae.
Amaryllis, Hippeastrum, Narcissus, and several other members of the amaryllis
family Amaryllidaceae.
Two groups of Iris species, family Iridaceae: subgenus Xiphium (the "Dutch"
irises) and subgenus Hermodactyloides
