Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the growth form of Leptochloa chloridiformis (Hack.) Parodi. In this perennial species branching occurs mainly from the axillar buds of the innovation zone. This
branching system generates a caespitose plant, in which the connections between structural units are short rhizomes. According to their positions, these connections present different tendencies in relation to the structural disarticulation. In some plants branching in the long internodes zone may occur due to
environmental changes.
