Hmm_ I did find:


on this page:http://www.hcs.ohio-state.edu/hcs200/Stems.html


Tillers  are secondary stems that arise from nodes       at the base of
the main stem, and are almost vertical in position.        The crown of a
plant is a group of modified stems with       very short internodes that
occur very close to the soil surface.       It usually functions as a site
for food storage and new growth       in perennial species. Most forage
grasses, and some forage legumes       (alfalfa and clovers)Â  have a
crown. 


But doesnt quite sound like what is described in the url you sent.

Actually there are some interesting pages on this website (e.g. soybean
growth stage information).
