 note = {To assess the characteristics of clonal growth and sexual reproduction in Veratrum album subsp. oxysepalum, shoot architecture was examined by excavating plants. Non-flowering plants had pseudo-stems composed of leaf sheaths, and the shoot showed a monopodial growth with forming annual branches on the rhizomes. In contrast, flowering plants constructed aerial stems containing flower buds, by which the monopodial growth of shoots was terminated. All flowering plants produced 1―3 axillary buds in the basal part of aerial stems, which started clo-nal growth as daughter ramets in the next year after flowering. By clonal growth, sympodial branchings were caused on rhizomes. Non-flowering plants also had an ability to produce clonal ramets by causing sympodial baranchings on rhizomes or producing runners from rhizomes, although the ramet production rarely occurred. The rhizomes of flowering plants survived after flowering less than six years in this study nevertheless other or-gans had already been shed. Therefore, connections between the mother and the daughter ramets were formed on rhizomes during the survival period of mother rhizomes. The joints on rhizomes were sometimes retained un-til the flowering phase of daughter ramets, otherwise, joints seem to be lost before flowering of daughter ramets. This suggests that sexual reproduction occurs once or twice during the lifetime of a plant in this species.},
