Clump-forming, making shoots at or just below ground level.  

With the ovary only partly below the level of the perianth attachment.  

Of plants that have thick, fibrous leaves, adapted to survive dry climatic conditions.  

A tree or large shrub that forms rosettes at the branch tips, like some woody Senecio, Lobelia, Lecythidaceae, some woody Asparagaceae, some branching or clumping palms and some tree ferns. Their leaves often collect fallen litter.
