Pseudovivipary in Isachne globosa, Family Poaceae

The precocious and continuous growth of offspring on the maternal parent is defined as the 'vivipary', which has been reported from at least 40 genera and 23 families. Pseudovivipary is observed in apomictically or asexually reproducing plants, which may be natural or induced, and confined to terrestrial habitat due to teratology, mechanical injuries, pathogenecity or abrupt environmental changes.
