CONT

Une propagule [...] est un organe de dissémination (propagation) et de reproduction. On ne parle de propagule que quand il ne s'agit pas de fruits ou d'individus issus de la reproduction sexuée. Les graines ne sont donc pas considérées comme propagule, car elles propagent une espèce et non un individu.

Cualquier estructura capaz de originar una nueva planta por reproducción asexual o sexual, incluyendo bulbilos, yemas vegetativas, etcétera.
